Comcast Becomes Nation's Fourth Largest Phone Company > 3rd very soon

Re: 3rd very soon

The total that I pay Comcast is $182/month including all taxes and junk fees. I get all movie channels, an HD DVR, another digital converter an upgraded 8mb/750KB Internet package (this they never really delivered on as they don't seem to be able to hit the telephony/cable modem box with the right codes), and a sports package and the unlimited LD telephone service that works like a champ. I know I am saving a large amount of money because before I bundled the services I was paying about $162.00 plus about 50 bucks for a Verizon line that didn't have unlimited long distance. Not only do I save about $30/month but I get the large number of movie channels that were added, a sports package, and if I am willing to have a heart attack fighting for it, upgraded Internet speed . I'd say the value of the added services is well over 50 bucks, so some people could say I am saving $80/month, but I just look at it as $30/month saved because that is how much less I am paying per month.

FIOS is becoming available in my area, but not in my neighborhood yet. The deals they have, offer similar savings. I am perfectly happy with Comcast for once in my life and will stick with them until Verizon gets their act together with regard to On-Demand and on-the-air HD programming. My only complaint with Comcast is with their DVRs. Verizon's isn't much better.
