i was paying 45 dollars a month in so cal for att/comcast cable modem.

then 4 months ago they started charging me 10$ more a month because i refuse to get cable tv.

so the other day SBC offered DSL for 29.99 a month for a year. ordinarily i don't like DSL, but saving 300$ a year is nothing to laugh at.

Before i switched i decided to call comcast and give them a chance to give me a better deal, because i knew they would start callling a week after i canceled, but i would be locked into SBC for a year.

After 10 minutes on hold Comcast said they would give me a rate of 19.99$ a month for 6 months.

i was so angry i could spit. first at them for being an ISP mafia and then at myself for not calling earlier.

Give them a call.
