Default Comcast

I am getting rid of Comcast tv and phone. I'm keeping internet. They want $100. for internet, 300 speed. Is this a good price?

Where do I return the tv components? I don't have a car so what would be my options?

Call comcast, you may be able to drop off at the xfinity store corner of Rolling acres and 441, maybe a friend can drive you there, and I think comcast has a way to return equipment via UPS, but call comcast first before doing this.

Drop off at the Starbucks on rolling acres road or mail it back. Tell comcast you will switch to Spectrum unless they reduce internet price.

They may have cared in the past but not anymore! I had asked for cancellation for a date 3 weeks away believing they’d call back to see why or if they could make me a better offer. Within 3 hours they had cut me off. Then I had to listen to my wife complain that we had no TV or Internet.

If you have a golf cart you can park in the Target/Petco parking lot on Rolling Acres and 441, then walk across Rolling Acres Rd. to the Comcast store. Also make sure you get a receipt, Comcast loves to send people bills for unreturned items that were returned. DON'T MAIL IT!

$100 dollars for internet is a rip off. Cancel everything and change the account name to get a better deal.

Maybe you can see if T-Mobile Internet would work at your address. They furnish modem for $60 per month for 100 mbs and was supposed to stay at that price.

I’m paying 1/2 that for xfinity 400Mb for a 1 year special, then I’ll work something out with somebody after that. I wish they offered fiber here in the new section

Were moving to Hammock at Fenney. Is that what you are calling "the new area" and they don't have fiber there yet?

Yes it is. We just went through this. My wife wants to see the news live on the tv. I called Sunday and they got me connected with an upgraded plan; 600 bps internet and 200 plus channels for $160 a month. Still a tad cheaper than Hulu live and YouTube tv streaming service. Service is great. No equipment, it is all done through their app so there are no rental fees. My neighbor has Century link @ 100 bps and YouTube tv for about $120 per month. (Only has one tv and a computer). Century Link has sold much of their asssets to Lumen technologies and that may get them in the game after the deal is finished next year. However, for now Comcast really has this area locked up.

Actually, CenturyLink changed their name to Lumen Technologies. They still use the "CenturyLink" brand name for some of their business.

Verizon home internet with cell phone contract $50 a month. I stream Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon prime and You Tube TV. Buffering sometimes with live sports, no question it is a pain.

Be sure to use your phone to take a picture of the sticker on the equipment before you turn it in.

I have Comcast (and have for many years), never had a problem (internet only 100MBP).
