    Convenience fee applies only for payment via phone by Comcast Customer Care Reps. Gotta read the fine print.

    If I'm not mistaken, a 3rd party processes those kinds of payments and that's why it costs money to do it. Even if you make the payment with the principle company rep on the phohe, a 3rd party still actually processes the payment. The bank that has my car note does it, but doesn't charge for the auto debit (which I use). A lot of credit card companies do it too.

    That being said, **** Comcast.

    Seems like Comcast dropped the rental charge for the digital converter box (primary only). Its now "included" in the package cost.

    ok, i just called Comcast and basically told them AT&T is offering me a great deal. of course, the rep asked what that deal was to see if i was BSing.

    told them i didn't really want the hassle of changing services and i'd like to give them a chance to match the offer.

    well, surprisingly, they did! i say surprisingly b/c i called them 2 weeks ago and the other rep gave me some crap about me just having had a discount. :rolleyes:

    Are there any alternatives to cable internet other than DSL?

    Are there any other providers of high speed cable access at all?

    Your other alternative is dial up.
    I don't think you can have 2 cable companies operating in the same area.
    If you really want DSL get the 6 Mbps down package for $34.99 with AT&T
