I just spoke to him and you are right, the door-to-door Spectrum reps have much better offers than going to the store or calling the call center. But the offer is for 2 years. Also, the $30/month for 500Mbs is if you provide your own modem. If you use theirs, which he recommends becauce Spectrum will be able to troubleshoot remotely, then it's $40/month for the 500Mbs. I think he said you get the modem at no extra charge for the 1Gbs service. Just be aware, if you don't want all this speed, I got an offer in the mail from Spectrum for the 100Mbs service for $20/month for 2 years which seems to be the cheapest so far but you need to be a "preferred cusomer" whatever that means.

Just FYI, I had a couple of neighbors sign up with a door-to-door rep 2 years ago and got a deal for $29.99/month plus tax and fees but after 2 years, Spectrum wouldn't give them another deal and they had to pay full price. I guess if all you can get is Xfinity or Spectrum, Spectrum looks like a better deal not only for the price but you get the regular modem and wifi device that works pretty well and there is no data cap. If you can get Quantum, then that's best because you get bi-directional, dedicated service, Wifi7 equipment and no 1 or 2 year agreement. We don't yet know how long their "price for life" will be so the jury is out on that. The timing was perfect for my neighbors because they switched and got the Quantum $35/month 1Gbs offer that doesn't have a time limit on it.

Interesting how this competition has progressed.
