RCA DCM305R Cable Modem at Radio Shack $79.99

Comcast $80 Rebate

"Free" cable modem, after MIR.
Does that also currently get a $3 reduction in the monthly fee?

Watch those additional requirements, though.

NEW Comcast high-speed Internet service activation between 5/1/03 and 6/30/03.
Submission within 60 days of (cable modem) purchase.
Form filled out in *ALL CAPITAL LETTERS* !?
Copy of the first month's Comcast bill is also required.
(Get the service now. Buy the modem in 1 month (before 6/30) ?)
(Post a reminder note on the bathroom mirror?)

My roommate and I did this deal last August. I wouldn't worry about the 60 day submission requirement. You should have no trouble getting your bill before then.

BTW, the modem has worked flawlessly for us so far. Can't really judge versus other cable modems, but we've got ours connected to a NETGEAR RT314 router and experience zero problems.

This might be just the perfect deal. I am moving over the June 1st weekend and I am hooking up Comcast Cable in the new house. Buying this modem saves me $3 every month.

I think Circuit City has had on onging deal with Comcast for a "Free" after rebate and activiation modem too. The modem is a Motorola Surfboard.

Their may be other retailers doing the same thing. Shop around for the store that sells the hardware you want.
