Comcast

This month's bill for high speed internet and basic cable went up but approximately $50. This is because it's been 6 months since I signed up and all the promotional offerings that came with signing up expired. So i called up Comcast and asked for them to downgrade my cable package - there's no reason for digital cable if i don't have an HDTV and no need for OnDemand - we didn't even realize we had it until maybe a month ago. And then i saw they were offering a deal on high speed internet for existing cable customers (that's me!) so i got our high speed internet dropped back down to $19.99 a month. all in all, the bill went up by $3. I guess i can deal with that for now. in another 6 months, i will have to call back again when the bill increases again... this is how you deal with comcast. Otherwise, the other way is to threaten to leave in order to sign up with another cable\internet company. Then they will start offering you all sorts of promotional offers.
