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.

Re: Sounds like...

I have 29.95 a month, no contract, month to month :P I don't think new users can get such a deal anymore though. Hooray for grandfathering my price.
