Re: Comcast Promo - $150 Cash Back / Free Modem
Done it 3 times here. It's awesome. Got the rebate every time, cancelled shortly after so in the end, service doesn't really cost much.. to the point of it being practically immoral.. usually they give me another promo at the end of the initial 6 months, but nothing after that.
Remember the $19.99 price is for cable TV subscribers, otherwise it's $33 or something depending on your area. Basic Cable is $13.08 here and I am subscribing to that, so it almost evens out, except cable TV has a bit of tax.
I've found that installation is cheaper when installing for cable TV (instead of internet) too, since the technician doesn't have to touch your computer, I guess. I like it that way.  this time around I just had the installer connect the TV and leave, and I self-installed internet right after. |

Newark, CA | are you sure the $19.99 for first 6 months is cable tv subscribers only? i'm only interested in the internet part as we've never had cable at our place (don't watch much tv). |

| The idea is that if you already have cable, it can be a self install.
As a comcast reseller comcastoffers.com can only offer under terms comcast allows.
even if your house is cable ready, (wired, jacks where you want them, a drop from the pole in place) but no current service they still have to roll a truck, probably eating up the $130 discount they are offering.
circuitcity/bestbuy/etc. offer similar deals.
If you need an actual physical install work, you may get a better/similar deal by calling comcast directly, and seeing what they'll offer.
be sure a get the bottom line price (including and install, equipment, shipping, taxes and fees) as a quote from each. |
