Comcast Rant.....
So I want a land line and already have comcast for internet and cable (basic) and pay about 100 a month. Comcast has a deal where ya get everything for 100 bucks (and its digital cable) Kickass I think, I can get the history channel back and get a land line and pay the same amount.....
I call comcast. I find out that since I already have some service, I'm not eligible for the 100 dollar deal.... great... but I can get the phone service for 33 bucks... ok, not too bad.... OH but The history channel isnt availible on the lowest digital cable package (55 bucks) I need the 64 dollar package
oh, and I have to pay taxes on the phone line, pay 1.50 a month if I dont want my number published, AND they wanted me to pay 99 dollars to instal a modem and cable box....
FUNK DAT

Hey Jake have you had any experience with AT&T's cable internet?
My parents just got fed up with Comcast so they canceled and AT&T is somewhere in the ballpark of $15 a month for the first 15 months.
We also have DirecTV so no need for the cable from Comcast.

If you are in Verizon's FiOS network, it's great. Fibre all the way to your house. I get internet at 15Mbps! Expanded basic TV (Yes I get History Channel) and the house is wired to Verizon phone service and it's NOT that stupid internet phone. Both run about 100 a month. If you are new, I think it's free 1st month.
