My current speed is only 20mbps, but the thought of changing numerous online account logins, notifying friends of the new email address, buying a new router, etc. exhausts me. My retrospective advice to myself would be to use an online email service instead of an ISP specific .centurylink or .comcast address.
I don't mean to add to your load. You can forward your CL email to gmail. But that's another learning curve.
I do appreciate your angst dealing with a retention team when they know a lot more then you do and they know it. I think I am well on my way for getting a faster speed then you have in addition to a bunch of channels for no more then $45 including hidden costs. At 3pm xfinity [comcast] was supposed to call me to finish the deal. they didn't, part of a day wasted.
