Re: New Tier?: Comcast HSI 768 Kbps tier, $25 + Free Install Its 40.00 without cable. Its the Economy tier. It is rarely advertised however.
I have seen people with the 6/384 tier and they only used it for email.
I mean they didnt even KNOW what the internet was. When I asked them to see if they could get online they opened outlook and checked email.
When I asked them to do a speed test they didnt know what I was talking about. I asked them to click the BIG BLUE "E". "I never knew what that was for?" "Now, what can I do here?"

kudos:5 | It's possible that the ad was inserted by Comcast TV. I was not exactly watching KPDX on UHF 49. I was watching Comcast TV's Channel 3. It's KPDX programming, but Comcast inserts some of their own ads over the broadcaster's ads.
Perhaps the ad didn't mention a non-bundled $40 price because they knew viewers of that particular system-inserted ad already had Comcast TV.
When I checked last night, it was not an option offered by www.comcast.com -- but the ad did not say it would be, either.
Does anyone know what the upload rate is on that tier? Are there any other unique T&C's?

I had this tier (economy plan) before I switched over to verizon's 3M /768K plan for 27.99 priced for life, the economy plan here in Carroll County, MD. is/was 768K/384K for the price that you stated. |

kudos:5 | That's weird. YouTube video is rather low bandwidth stuff. It all got better when she upgraded? |
