Best Bets for P&C

This post is directed at collisions and dotgirl, regarding different options for Comcast Cable. Feel free to move along and NOT clock on the Comcastic lil' LJ cut below if you could really care less.

First off, we have what's called the "Tripple Play" deal. I know it includes cable television, but hear me out on this okay? You get your internet, your Digital Phone AND your Cable Television all installed FOR FREE, and the services cost you $33 a month for the next year. The bad part is that if you cancel one of the services early (such as calling in to cancell the TV part of it), all the other services then shoot up to around $50 a month from that moment on.

Option 2 is the "Just Internet" (as I like to call it). Installation is $25, service costs you $19.99 a month for the first three months and then $50 a month each month there after. No strings, no contract.

And then there's option 3, which is my favorite. Get cable television installed for $25, then go buy a Self Install Kit at Best Buy or a similar retail outlet (I'll research further if you like). ALmost every "Retail offer" out there gives you a FREE self install kit, a FREE cable modem and a rate of $19.99 a month for your first 6 months instead of just 3. Once you have the internet installed using the Self Install Kit, youc an cancel the television end with no repercussions and they'll only charge you for as long as you actually had the service (probably a grand total of up to 5 days at the most, could be even just one day if we time it right).

but when you drop the tv the internet goes up $10.00
and what are you thinking buy a self install kit?
Buy a modem, then have one of your friends who work for Comcast stop by a cable store and pick up a couple jumpers. Or have the tech leave you a couple when he sets up the tv. Once you have block sync the walled garden will appear, or since you have to call to get the services added have the person on the phone push registration.
