reply to caco

Re: WOW...

I'm not surprised on Business Class Service products... the phone and internet offering is INCREDIBLE from comcast vs. telco who CONTINUES to rape business.

Comcast Business Class example:

1 DOCSIS 3.0 22/5 (Statics)
3 Dialtones - national service

---------------> $160.00 per month.

To a small business, that's an incredible savings over the average telco offering.

Qwest Comparable:

1 DSL 1.5/896 - $65.00 (No statics)
3 Dialtone - Local unlimited service $35.00 each
3 Long distance - Unlimited $35.00 each
(Does not include voice mail and only 3 calling features)

---------------> $275.00 per month. plus taxes up the butt

Comcast is tapping an under-served market that has long been way over charged. I've found on average, a 6 line phone service for a good sized small business often runs upwards of $550. One advantage that cable has over telco is that when you purchase your primary line with long distance, they all have it. Telephone charges you PER line still, which is absurd these days.

Like people call for cable to do, telco needs to evolve, but for some reason, won't.

Be glad you live where they have their shit together. Here the best they can do is six megs. Six! On cable! AT&T has done that on DSL for five years. And no statics. Phone service is a crapshoot.

Here's what I pay AT&T:

Two phone lines, $44 ($27 and $17).
Two six meg DSL, $79 ($34 and $45).
With long distance, toll free number, busy call forwarding and regular call forwarding and the government's bundle of tax fun it comes to about $179. Even the Comcast cold-calling sales people say they can't beat it on this system. Too bad they just are not competitive in the business market here.
