@comcast.net | $69.95/month?
After the promotional rate, anybody pay $69.95/month for Comcast HSI only?
That's crazy. Much higher than other companies.
I don't need cable TV and digital phone. Anybody has a suggest for just high speed internet service?
Thanks! |

I end up paying 67.95 since dumping their cable and going back to dishnetwork.
I know it sucks but im saving $15 a month after all is said and done for a couple dozen more channels. I didn't use VOD only the DVR in 2 rooms. I should be saving more when they add the new prices to my last bill in a couple weeks.

said by gar187er  :not that high normally unless your area was recently acquired by comcast.... San José would be $67.95 per month for the highest speed tier and no cable TV. Only two dollars lower, so it could be a regional thing.

Only two dollars lower, so it could be a regional thing. Up here in Mendocino County we pay $66.95 a month for the Performance Plus (8000/768) Tier without cable, we have Directv for our TV. We are an ex-Adelphia market, so that may have something to do with it as well, we are part of Comcast's North Bay Network.
Edit-The standard tier here (6000/384) is $56.96 a month without cable tv.
Edit2-While we did gain Powerboost, the standard tier lost part of it's upload in the transition to Comcast from Adelphia, under Adelphia it was 6000/768. To get the 768 upload back that Adelphia had you have to upgrade to the higher priced tier (Performance Plus).

Thank you so much for your reply. At least I get a basic idea how much would it cost for Comcast HSI only. I'm in Olathe, KS (zip 66062).
It looks like we only have AT&T and Comcast. AT&T is about $55 for internet and unlimited long distance. But the internet is not as fast as Comcast.
I used to pay $49.99/month for Time Warner HSI only when I lived in another area.
Thanks again. |

| Sorry the news wasn't better, but it one generally pays more for more speed. Welcome to the site! I knew Olathe before it was so big, during high school/college years.

Talked to the customer service. They dropped the rate to $54.31/month for 6Mbps speed. They said I was on performance 6Mbps plan, but I wasn't sure I got that fast download speed. Every time I tested my speed here is only about 2500 kb/s. On speedtest.net is about 5400 kb/s. Anyway, saved a little bit by making a phone call. Hope the HSI price won't be increasing as fast as the gas price. |
