It really rips me that in order to get into one of the new higher bandwidth tiers, I have to switch from limited cable ($15 a month) to basic cable ($44), or pay a higher for the bandwidth ($10 for 6 or $20 for 8)! It's really sad . . . weather I succumb to such treachery, only time will tell. In my opinion, paying $60 for cable plus Internet is way too much, but than again, that's just me!

Hooray for grandfathering my price.

That must be WITHOUT another $12 that you'd pay for "surcharges" making the total phone+DSL cost more like $55. You must work for the phone company because they are the only people who would quote their prices the way you did, deliberately omitting all their bogus "surcharges".

Verizon! $29.95 for 3mbit/768
That $30/mo DSL requires a 1 year contract which Comcast doesn't have and forces you to have a phone line making the actual cost around $50/mo + BS taxes.

If you read the fine print it says your price will return to the current rate after 1 year of service meaning that $30/mo will probably revert back to the $40 or $50/mo. Add the price of phone service to that and it'll cost a lot more in the long run.

Non cable tv subscribers of Comcast pay 57.95/mo.
If you subscribe to cable tv, it's $42.95/mo.

You're also not guaranteed the 3megabit since you're limited by your distance to the CO. With cable you're more likely to achieve your max speed.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13892934 Thu, 14 Jul 2005 18:03:00 EDT Re: Hmmmm http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13892793 mikestorm :

Price war....hmmm it seems simple when you add the cost of the regular phone service into the equation that DSL cost the same as cable. I support users and I would rather have a cable modem on the other end of the phone than a DSL connection. Cable is quick efficient and cost effective for the remote work force.
I disagree.

If you want to add in the cost of regular phone service on the DSL side you should add in the cost of cable on the cable side; remember Comcast has different pricing for non cable customers...OR at least compare the DSL pricing to non customer internet pricing ($57.95). Either way you slice it: ($30 DSL vs. $43 Cable for ISP pricing only or $43 vs. $58 to factor in phone and noncustomer pricing) Verizon DSL is the better deal.

However, like someone said, DSL isn't nearly as prevalent.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13892793 Thu, 14 Jul 2005 17:42:21 EDT Sounds like... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13892547 Jerm : Verizon! $29.95 for 3mbit/768]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13892547 Thu, 14 Jul 2005 17:11:49 EDT Re: Hmmmm http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13892480 Dennis : Quick and efficient is dependent upon more than just the speed.

You have to allow for latency, routing, and backbone load. If you think 8mb vs. 3mb is the only arguement, then you are a fool.

I would love to be able to pay $25 a month for a 3mbps plan instead of $45 for 5mbps. I can think of plenty of things that I would spend the extra $20 a month on. (Or maybe I would even just stick the extra cash into my savings account for a rainy day.)
