Re: Comcast Blast Extra (ended a 6 mth promo) still good or bad? some promos come with HD and you are paying the low Limited Basic HD fee. Higher TV packs need the $8-$10 HD fee. |
|
| Thanks to all who responded. Well, I took the advice and looked for the promos offered at the malls- walmart etc.
There is a current promo:
Blast Plus Xfinity Internet + TV = $39.99 (6 mths)
Need to add $10 for HD box.
Also, I cannot tell the diff betw Blast Plus vs Blast Extra. Does anyone know the speed diff?
Is this a good deal or should I wait a while? Thx. |

I believe both Blast Extra and Blast Plus provide the same Blast! HSI tier speed.
The difference is in the TV part - "Extra" just provides the Digital Basic tier of channels, while "Plus" also adds the "Digital Economy" cable channels. |

kudos:1 | Many promos only apply to new customers so you may still have to negotiate with Comcast's retention department to get it. |

Ok, I cancelled my existing service and signed up for the new promo (under my partner's name). I tried going via Retentions but they simply cannot match the new customer deals.
Oh well, just can't beat $39.99 for 6 mths (Blast Plus). Sales rep claims he added me HBO free for 3 mths (still not sure what this means... I can only access HBO OnDemand, just not the HBO channel numbers).
I also got 12 mths free HD DVR rental -- Xfinity Motorola RNG200N unit. Is this box any good? |
|
| yes the box is good. It's the newest box out. |

| Thanks!  |
