    Man, Comcast got that ghetto pricing. I'm moving so I have to set up internet at my new place. Figured I'd get one of those sweet discount deals. But really, Comcast? $50 bucks is how much I pay right now for 25Mbps internet!


    And for comparison...

    It's $46 after 12 months. Thanks AT&T...

    Ahhhh yes... the fine print...

    Deals are out there. What is more, when the trial ends, you can always get them to give you something to stick around. I do this once every 12 months like clockwork with AT&T. Every year, I get faster internet at the same price and a deal on my U-Verse TV to stick around because I call and just wait them out.

    Time-Warner has upgraded my internet speed for no additional charge 3 years in a row already. They just gave me another deal this Monday.

    We pay about $60 / month for Comcast internet. I bought my own modem to avoid their $7/month rental fee.

    What speeds do you get for that price?

    I'll see what sort of deals AT&T has in a year but the last time I threatened to leave Comcast they were like, "kthxbye."

    What really surprised me about the deal is that Comcast has one package @ $50 for 6Mbps
    and a separate package that (after a year) is $50 for 25Mbps

    Are there parts of the country where Comcast only offers 6Mbps? It seems odd to me that the option is even there unless certain Comcast territories can't go faster.
