Re: Great work Karl!



I remember years ago when Comcast first started the bundle "discount". I was a DTV customer for TV, and paying roughly $40 for HSI and a Modem rental from Comcast.

Then, Comcast decided to offer this bundle "discount" as you call it.

Only problem with the "discount" was that the people with Comcast TV just got to keep on paying the same rate, but the people without Comcast TV got to pay $5 (I think that's what it was at the time) more for service.

In other words when the "discounts" as you call them went into effect, nobody saw their bills drop. How then is it a discount?

Re: Great work Karl!

In our area Comcast's out of nowhere penalty was $14.00. I just opened my bill and one month and it jumped from $42.95 to $56.95. Additionally I was passed over for many of the speed increases Comcast had. Comcast really socked it to you on many fronts if you didn't want their crappy CATV service.
