I bought back in March and I went with Embarq for the triple play. I am not sure that will work for you as I did not ask about the putting it on vacation when you are not in TV. One thing for sure, Comcast is expensive and they are the cable co. I had them here at home in Atlanta and after 4 years I fired them. Now I have the Dish here and in TV. I love it. Again, congrats on your closing. We are in The Village of Summerhill.
