[Price] Comcast pay my early termination fee if I switch?

I meant $50.

Call in and ask. Your area may have a deal for switching subscriber winback/overs, but the only way to find out is to ask.

Do you have any idea what your ETF is, & or what date IS the end of your contract?
If you don't know, wouldn't it be prudent to find this out from DTV first?
If it's only a short amount of time, you might be better off (cost-wise) to keep DTV until then - even going ahead & getting CC now, to get your (Viacom) channels back. THEN cancel DTV after your aniversary date is past - you don't actually have to keep the system hooked up while you wait out the end of your contract.

Vampyfan25,

Make the call to Comcast; mention the DirecTV-vs.-Viacom dispute; express your impatience over that situation; see if Comcast will entice you to switch.

Wouldn't the fact that D-wreckTV is no longer providing all the contracted channels release you from the contact?

Years ago when I switched from DirecTV, they had a "dump the dish" promotion and gave me a $25/mo discount on my Comcast bill for the first year along with an introductory plan, but I had to provide a copy of my current bill from the competitor.

Call and ask what they will do to get you to switch.

comcast deal with Viacom is comeing up and they don't have epix.

And this dispute likely is about EPIX as well.

NO, OR would it apply to DISH for the loss of the AMC, WE, IFC, Sundance channels. There are most definitely disclaimers in their contract "fine print" that specifically states "all prog offerings subject to change".

I dont think they would actually pay the termination fee but if you give them an amount they coudl possibly discount your service over some chaining months to make up that cost. That might be as good as it gets.
Agents do not really have the power, or incentive, to pay for you to terminate a contract. Competitor or otherwise. ]
Who is to say that you wouldnt get out of their contract and then you would drop Comcast the next month under the 30day money back guarantee.
They paid to get your out of a contract and gave you service free for one month.

Not that it would ever happen, but situations such as that and countless others are reason enough that they wouldnt outright PAY the fee for you.

Best of luck! That Viacom crap is ridiculous.
