Service has never been out for more than an hour when switching accounts, in fact last time (Feb 2021) never had any downtime. Been doing that without issue here and for as long as cable/dsl/fiber had been available up north when we lived there. Was a DirecTV MDU tech support trainer up north for 5 years so never paid for that anyway but learned lots of tricks.
Hi How are you able to get a 2 yr price plan? I am near Lake Deaton plaza using Comcast. My patio villa is a rental. I ask for a long term plan and they plan tell only 12 month is available. I play the cat and mouse game with them 1 year its in my wife's name and next year its in mine to get the promotional pricing. I have gone from $55 for 50mbps and 30 channels to $75 100mbps and 10 local streaming channel using my own roku. I would like too just get internet and use the streaming service Locast.org for about $60.00 a year. Comcast will not offer just internet only as a existing customer but as a new customer its available Spectrum I believe is available in my area now With Spectrum I would also have to play the cat and mouse game with them after 12 months
Its ridiculous what charge and they wouldn't give a long term pricing . I use a company here in Rochester NY which is fiber optic into the house a flat $50.00 a month forbase service 500 down and currently due to covid 500 up which I been paying for the 2yr I had the service none of this bs promotional prices
