Thjat's an interesting idea but the one that comes up for comcast is no where to be found on their site or anywhere else for that matter.Dennis Nicholls said:I found this helpful site that searches for available ISP options for your zip code.

That website is about as helpful as a greased watermelon in a pond...Dennis Nicholls said:I found this helpful site that searches for available ISP options for your zip code.

At this point, just internet might be the way to go.

Just mention you've got a better offer from another company. Almost guaranteed they'll drop the price.TonyD said:Got a letter from them today telling me that My Internet Bam! or whatever they call it is no longer 50 kbps but now it's 75.

I go there and chat up one of their customer service reps and ask if there's any way they can lower my bill. They seek out all their promotions, etc. on their computers and I almost always walk out with a lower bill (and retaining all my services). Of course, I need to do this every year as the promotions expire then. But I get a notice in my bill telling me it will soon be going up to $xx.xx, so it's easy to know that it's time to go.
I really recommend this to any T-W customer.
Mike Frezon said:D'ya suppose that cable prices are going up because more and more people are going internet-only (and they're trying to make up for lost revenue)?
The big companies (T-W, Comcast, etc.) maybe are pricing themselves right out of business--especially considering the proliferation of alternatives.
I'm sure I'm not breaking any new ground with that thought...
