How do I email Comcast in The Villages?

I've tried going on their web site, but they only let you phone them so they can pressure you. I want something memorialized so there's no doubt about cost and what channels I will get.

We are returning to The Villages in October and I want monthly rates so that I can get a list of channels I will provide, or a rate if we sign up for January through April.

I want to compare Comcast's charges with other cable companies available, if any, in the Silver Lake Village, or satellite dish, since our home has a satellite dish.

Any suggestions?

If necessary, I'll get bare bones basic cable and use my laptop and my TV monitor to get WVU Mountaineer games via an app I already have.

Thank you.

I know that I'll get helpful hints from other part-time home owners in The Villages, starting with Gracie Girl

CenturyLink lets me email them, but I haven't figured out how to email ComCast.

Go to Comcast: Cable TV, Internet & Phone | XFINITY(R) Official Site (http://www.comcast.com) and you should find a list of the specials they are offering and what channels you get for that. Good luck in getting more than a year or two commitment. They like to give you extras for 6 months then at the end of the 6 months it will go up to regular price. Then you need to call again and ask for the retention dept and tell them you have found a better offer from a competitor and that if they will match it or better you will stay. It's a game they play. You can try the chat feature on the website and possibly copy the chat notes.

They are hiding from you. Large companies want nothing in writing sent to them that might be discoverable in a legal action. Big health insurance companies are the worst, they have no personal email addresses and no physical addresses to which correspondence can be directed. You can't send a registered or certified letter to a post office box and they know it. More and more companies are adopting this method of dealing with the public everyday. Be careful with Comcast, even when you have a written proposal they will never identify anyone you can send it to in the event o a dispute. The new corporate rule is " memorialize nothing ". Sorry for digressing, but I had a dispute with Comcast last year and could find no way to direct a piece of paper to a human being.

But, hey, I got a reply from CenturyLink via email. I told them in my email that, if they called me, I'd scratch them off as a possible vendor for me. I had Comcast last winter. As a part-timer, I'm not about to sign a 2-year contract. Thanks for the tips.
