Comcast bought Adelphia yesterday, and Mr. Taugher's rates will be hiked to pay for the acquisition.

That's what Comcast did when they bought AT&T cable and internet. I blew up last week and said I was going to BellSouth DSL if they didn't give me a deal similar to the introductory offers out there. They caved in and I have a great hi-speed internet rate for three months. Then I'll dump them and go DSL. Comcast can go eff themselves

You have to stop and think about the fact when you pay $55 for Comcast Cable HSI, you are paying for the line and access. With Bell South DSL you are paying for the access. You pay for the line via your local phone bill. So you need to add your phone bill and DSL bill together to get the true cost.

Are you sure you can do that under the terms of the agreement? I have NEVER seen a high-speed IP give a deal without a penalty for quitting before you pay the regular rate for a period equivalent to the one you had the deal for.

Interesting. I have a similar situation with Charter, a debt laden company tetering on failure. They recently raised the cable rate but decreased the highspeed rate leaving a combined monthly bill of about $90.00.

How long will your deal last?

I've considered the action you made but dread the hassle and especially changing my primary e mail address.

Apparently digital cable has been a failure because not enough people have subscribed to pay off the capital costs invested.
