Re: Is this really good for Comcast?
What the hell are you talking about?

..to be competitive. Actually, it looks pretty competitive against Comcast's own residential services, especially if you have an add-on VoIP provider. I'm spending somewhere around $90/month for 8/768 HSI and the full analog CATV package, and another $20/month on Vonage (disclaimer: these figures include taxes/fees, and the figure quoted above probably doesn't). I'd gladly trade the extra TV channels that I don't watch much anyway for more reliable HSI with decent tech support and the ability to run servers if I so chose.
Where did you find that bundle on the business site, BTW? I could only find individual services listed, and they collectively added up to more than $99.

| Maybe it is a regional thing. I just used my office phone number and that popped up, literally, in a javascript-launched window. It was the first thing offered but they are in a dogfight on this system right now anyway, bleeding customers left and right.
You're right about it looking good against Comcast's other services, but you have to take the cable TV which is just cramming the bill. Equivalent AT&T Internet and phone service runs about 2/3 that. Plus AT&T allows servers while Comcast does not, even on their "business class" plan, an Comcast requires a 1 year contract. The price then increases to 'normal' which knocks them right off the table ($49.95 for one phone line + $59.95 for 6 meg HSI, no TV). |
