I am considering getting cable for my apartment but I don't need a whole lot of bells and whistles and premium channels. I can't find any simple listing on Comcast's site. All it lets me do is order digital cable, I can't seem to compare packages or anything. Does anyone know where to find this information and pricing?

Expect to pay around $30-40 per month for basic (non-digital) service from Comcast. This is based on Maryland pricing.

Basic cable is not on thier site, you have to call. Here in Northern California it's about $10/month.

Oops, I was referring to "standard" cable. Basic cable (the $8-12 kind) only includes local channels and a handful of additional cable channels. If you want the usual run of cable channels (ESPN, Discovery, Cartoon Network, USA, TNT, SciFi, etc.) without premium or digital channels, it will run you $30-40.

Basic? As in the local channels only? Around $10 or so, you have to talk to them a lot because they'll try every trick to get you to sign up for standard cable. Oh yeah, be prepared to pay $10 a month and get the premium channels because thats still a problem for many cable providers ;) (At no extra cost that is)

Basic is about $10 here at Sacramento. Funny thing is that the bundled package with cable internet is cheaper than cable internet alone.
