I demanded a lower rate and wanted to speak to a supervisor. The rep then told me I dont have to pay anything for a year. She said $0 for 12 months and she'll even give me free cable. She asked me if I also want her job because she's quitting. I told her I have to pass on that offer. I dont really want to deal with people constantly calling in and asking for discounts. Sweet, one phone call and free internet and cable for a year. Thanks! I used to pay around $45 a month for internet with Comcast but I called them today to complain about my rate.

I do this only for the ease of one bill, rather than 3. It was about the same to have the land line phone vs. without and it's still nice to have a phone number to give retailers so i never have to get ads/business calls on my cell phone. But I agree, hidden, unexplained charges seem to be the way of it. Next time I'm free of package deal commitments, I'm gonna drop cable all together and take advantage of my xbox/internet options. DVRs are a waste of time and i am paying for 180 t.v. stations that I never, ever use. i do the bundle to the tune of 130/month or so. I do this only for the ease of one bill, rather than 3.

Would want to keep the same phone number. Any suggestions? Currently pay around $50 for a land line through the cable company and wonder if I should look at other options for a phone line.

We figure that we have netflix and enjoy that so we we can save $40/month by having limited cable and get up to 5 discs at a time and pay about the same amount as we did before our promo offer expired. They have a watch instantly online feature and have tons of movies and tv series to keep us busy, and we don't have to bother with ending promos and raising costs.
