Default Re: Comcast vs Embarq

I use comcast for cable & Hi-speed Internet and found Vonage very easy to use with the first 2 months free @ $ 24.95. It just hooks up to the comcast modem with a adapter they send you for a small fee. I went wireless so I can use my laptop anywhere in the house. It costs me $75.00 delivered from Best-buys.

A friend of mine had embarq and had mucho problemo with his hi-speed always going out.

Also if you are a seasonal resident Vonage will keep your account active for $5.00 a month.

As for Comcast just terminate and keep the devices. They will only bill you for the rental of those items such as a modem, DVR or a digital cable box. About $20.00 per month.

When you return they will charge a fee to turn all back on.

So for me $25.00 a month is my way of going vs $50.00 from Embarq.
