When I signed up, there was some special, and about 5 months later, my prices shot up. I called and managed to negotiate a bill lower than what I was originally paying. It's still not cheap (and my Internet has a tendency to flicker every now and then), but I appreciated the customer service. I have my cable and Internet through Comcast.

The CSR did say it was an error, and I claimed they can't advertise incorrect rates, but I can't sign up knowing they acknowledged the error and told me it would be "corrected" on the bill. It is still listed as $0 on the website. Golb: I considered it, but I think calling first ruined my chances.

It had a good potential for a "sensational" story series :) ..later you could also file a class action saying the company misleads consumers on pricing information...that could have gotten you lifetime of free Comcast in settlement :) You should have tried signing up for it.

I had to twist their arm to discontinue my cable, but when you don't have cable your internet shoots up to $57 a month. I'm moving soon and will have the option of the triple play, I'm trying to figure out the best and most cost efficient route to go - with sun rocket and optimum online, verizon all competing I want to lock in a good deal.

I have had many problems with them in the past, across several states. They have not honored "specials" for me in the past and I have had a bill "correction". They never honored their mistakes and their customer service was bad. They are the only cable provider in my area as well... So I bought a dish and haven't looked back. I loath Comcast.
