Comcast upped my speed to 8 megs and even lowered my monthly cost to $29.99, and I'm not even a cable customer of theirs. Very Happy

Hey, JB.

It's ironic- you live in Aurora, Colorado and I live in Aurora, Illinois!

I'll let you know if I can get Comcast to cough up a discount.

Thanks,

Definitely post how you make out. I'm in SE PA and am in the same boat. With my luck I'm afraid if I call Comcast and say I'm going to switch to FIOS (which I can't get) they'll say, "Oh, ok, have fan with allll that", then I'm hosed Cry

Comcast has been reliable for me but their pricing has bothered me for a long time. I'm paying $57.00/month for 384kbps up and 6Mbps down and I'm NOT a cable customer. I don't watch telly very often, if at all.

I always thought their prices were steep. Armed with UMP25's info, I will be calling to negotiate.

Thanks for the tip, UMP25!

Just be sure to NOT take "no" for an answer! I've suggested this same route to several people, from my father, cousins, to many friends. ALL of them were successful in getting their monthly fees lowered. BTW, some of them were Internet & cable customers, others just Internet.
