| Bundled discounts?
I'm kind of grabbing the back end of the topic here, but I certainly don't get any discount for having Comcast's Digital cable and cable internet service.  When I asked their customer service drones about the possibility a couple of months ago I was informed that they "don't do anything like that". If this supposed discount for multiple services is a recent development I'd love to know when they plan to actually apply it to existing customers!

You certainly do. The combined price is $15 less than the individual prices.
The weird thing is that you don't have to subscribe to Digital or even Full Analog; basic-basic Analog qualifies, which means that it can be cheaper to subscribe to cable TV than not. |

| It is more of a case of semantics and marketing than anything else - the math works out the same. For some reason, some people might find it more palatable if Comcast advertised their standard price for their internet service as being $57.95 per month with a $15 discount if you are a Comcast CATV subscriber.
Going back to Cattrfly  's post, additional types of bundled discounts are specific to local systems (available in some areas, not available in others - see the Promotions here for an example »mywebpages.comcast.net/comcast_m···ts-1.htm ). As for why these are not universal, one would have to ask Comcast. |

| That's always my beef. THAT CABLE PRICES AREN'T UNIVERSAL. If they were, and these PENALTIES were universal, it would be easier to regulate. I have always said that the majority of people would have LOWER CABLE RATES and better service if there were only 1 cable company nationwide. WOW customers are the exception. Who cares about them? They are the winners of life's lottery. |

Maybe. I thought they tended to have network issues at times. Here, I can honestly say, things have been very reliable from @Home -> ATTBI -> Concast, er I mean COMCAST.
