when i moved here from TN 5yrs ago, i got their entire service. cable internet and cable teevee. they claimed to, but did not, have a lot of the channels i asked about. once it was in and i complained that they were not available... i was told i needed the digital package in order to get the channels. i got it, but no channels i wanted. then they said i had to wait for the upcoming autumn when they were adding more. i waited. did not happen. now... i had 3 slavic channels, a dozen hispanic channels, 4 oriental channels and almost two dozen local pulic access channels but NOT the popular national channels i wanted. a month later... they added three channels... nasa, 24hour golf and another hispanic channel. they raised my bill $5.00 for them... even though i did not want the channels.. too bad for me... i had to have them and pay extra for them.
the internet access at the time was 3mb d/l and 128 u/l for $30.00a month. great. then excite sold and comcast gave us 1.5 down and 128 up. then my bill went from $30. to $45. for less speed. two good things though. somewhere, they made a mistake and thought i had purchased the modem. they were almost $300. at the time. and when i canceled the cable teevee they still had it on my internet bill for the subscriber price.
i had been paying the cheaper price until last month (4yrs worth) when i had trouble and the tech came out and realized that i did not have the teevee cable. so they will be raising my internet rate. but they just gave me a 6 month at $19.99 promotion for the trouble i had been having for the last 3 months. when that is over, i will be at a non subscriber rate.
I am hoping that FIOS is available by then. Right now, i never get more than 2.5mb d/l.
