***This is for Atlanta Metro area only***. YMMV in other parts of the country. This is for new customers that are just signing up or that dont have comcast cable or internet already. If you already have the cable, you can add the internet.
You must call 404-610-6500 or 800-979-0899 for these specials as they are not advertised. I have used this office in the past as they normally target dish customers and offer these specials to ATT and Satellite customers to switch them back to Comcast. Tell them that you either recieved a flyer on your door or that a friend of yours got one of these specials. Again, you must call the numbers above. These promotions below are only available through this special promotions dept
Comcast Digital Starter- $29.99 per month for the first 12 months. Free installation on 3 TV's. Free HBO for 1 year with any new service. The 2nd and 3rd converter are free as well with special for 1 year.
Comcast Preferred Package-$44.99 per month for the first 12 months. Free installation on 3TV's. Free HD DVR service for 1 year. 2nd and 3box are free as well for 1 year. HBO free for 1 year.
Comcast Hi Speed Internet-$19.99 per month for 1 year. 6mbs with powerboost upto 12mbps. Free Installation. You can order the internet all by itself. My best friend just ordered the internet only in Alpharetta and he got the $19.99 per month for 12 months.
I had posted in the past, but these specials are way better. We just signed up my sister who just moved into a new house for the Digital Starter and Internet. Her Bill per month for Digital Starter, 6mbps Internet, 3boxes total, HBO free for 1 year will only be $49.98 per month ($54.97 with tax) *** This is by far the best special Comcast has ever offered here in Atlanta***
I did the $20 a month internet the last time this deal was around...works great. Actually I did not sign up for cable TV, but the tuner in my cheap LCD TV seems to decode the channels just fine so I have cable tv and high speed internet for $20 a month! I actually got some porn on one channel the first night I had it hooked up but it's been gone ever since. Can't win them all...

if you live in an apartment type community you can tune your neighbours on demand channel. in hd digital tv tuner it comes in 8x.x series of channels for ex 84.7
Clearwire is an absolute joke. Just google Clearwire sucks in rip off reports. First, they make you buy a 50-$100 modem. Next, they make you sign a 2 year contract with a $250 termination fee. Lastly, they have some of the worst service in the country. Its a great concept, but is 2-3 years away from Comcast speed and service NOW. By that time clearwire will be 6-10mbps at best, Comcast will be 20-30mbps. My friend in Seattle signed up for them and regretted it big time.

I got in on the $19.99 internet deal last month. I opted for the speed upgrade to 22M, 30M w/Powerboost for $20 more per month. They also had the 50M w/Powerboost available, but it was $80 extra.
The OP is just another market specific promotion. I got the same, sans $29.99, rather I got Digital Preferred for $39.99 for a year, HSI for $19.99 for 12 months (12 MB plan), Starz Free, HBO for $5.99 for 6 months, Encore, for $5.99 for 6 months, and Showtime for $9.99 for 12 months.
I would reduce the CAPS in the title, and clarify to call for the best rep to help you. I am an existing customer. This was all rerated on June 13, to the Morgan Hill, Ca Call Center. The Rep was leaving the call center, and relocate to the Concord, Ca call center which is one hour closer to his home.
This is more of a deal discussion, on how to acheive the best deal.
$20 for both internet and cable sounds sweet though. Must be nice.

Clear modem rental is $5/month, which is higher than Comcast, but I would buy the modem for $50 (USB) or $70 for home if it works at my house. I think there is an option to pay a $35 activation free with no contract, but have not confirmed this yet. I don't download movies or warez and don't really care about getting the fastest possible download speeds. Clear's 3Mbps speed for $30/month would suit me fine if it really works. Comcast is $42.95/month by itself without a new-customer promotion.
Clear is not available in Seattle, so I'm not sure how your friend got it there...
Clear is doing NO CONTRACTS in Atlanta. I cannot get anything better than 3meg from DSL and then it's not much better than 2.
With Clear I get 5 plus easy. I pay $55 a month for a home modem / router and I also get a usb modem for my laptop. I have the ability to roam around and pay $55 -vs- DSL for $43.00 a month and I have better service.
WINNER for me.
Pick 2 Unlimited: Home & Mobile includes: Unlimited Home Internet + Unlimited Mobile Internet 6 Mbps down /500 Kbps up No activation fees Now only $55 for life. Clear offers VOICE service as well. Have not yet tried that out.
Anyone know any similar deals for Comcast Philadelphia area?
Best offer I got was 44.95 for TV w/HBO 4.95 DVR 15.95 (Additional HD Box) 19.99 Internet $90 Installation!!!
The installation is the biggest kicker on why I won't sign up... I'm gonna not have TV until they are willing to waive that fee or I can get a better deal.
Got $19.99 HSI for a year with $25 installation in the bay area,CA today. I already have basic cable.
First the rep told me I could get it only for 6 months and the 12-month offer was only for new cable/internet customers. Also installation fee was $99 initially and then got reduced to $25.

zapy said: Clear is doing NO CONTRACTS in Atlanta.
The Clear web site says there is a 2-year commitment when I put in my Atlanta address. That seems like a contract to me?
Just wanted to add my 2 cents. Our introductory rate went from $47 a month to $123 for our Comcast digital cable service in CT. I tried the online chat, they wouldn't do anything for us. I called twice trying to get the rate lowered, and the second call hit the right person. We locked in for 2 years at a $54.95 for cable, HBO, and DVR. I was never offered the option of locking in before -- for us it's the smart move as we don't have any other choices in our area. No Verizon or AT&T, and no signal for a dish. I HATE Comcast, but it's our only option other than an antenna.
Keep calling, it just takes the right person to answer the phone. They'd rather keep your business.
Anyone know how the Clearwire WIMAX actually performs? I'm in Alpharetta / Milton area and was wondering if WIMAX gets slower or fails with weather conditions like satellite? How similar is the technology to cell phones (dropout areas, etc.)? If this worked well, it would be much better than Comcast because you now have the mobile ability. Are there any WIMAX portable phones? At this price, who needs a separate cell phone!
Wow, a lot of hate for Comcast. I can't complain. I have the choice of either DSL from AT&T or Comcast. Been with them 2 years and it has never flinched on me. I am getting 20mbs downloads and I pay for 6mbs. What's not to like. If I am on fire they are welcome to give me their water.
Re: Clear/WiMax in Atlanta. I went through the sign-up process until the last step. It seems that a 2 year contract is required for the mobile service - you see that under the mobile internet line item in the shipping cart. Also, there is an upfront cost for modems (home $79.99 and mobile usb dongle $59.99 + ~$12 tax). Other than that, this is a great deal for those who need mobile internet in addition to home internet service - just $55 per month for unlimited downloads (6MB down/500KB up).

How much do you pay for 6mbps? I pay $42.95/month for "Performance" 12mbps. I asked if there was a slower speed that costs less, and was told that 1mbps was the only option. Nothing in between!?

Green for OP, got Internet for 12 months at 19.99 per.
If you go thru Comcast's site, it's only 6 months AND they charge you for installation. This is also free install. Best deal I could find!
if you have docsis 3.0 modem in certain parts of town you'd see alot more than that on speedtest. they powerboost to like 50mbps even if you have a 12mbps plan with docsis 3.0.
the reason you saw 20mbps was powerboost. it's really weird sometimes they leave it online.
i've been uploading at powerboost speed (normal is 89k/sec powerboost is like 220-260k/sec) all night long. wake up and still going. no slowdown.
Every once in a blue moon i'll see the 20mbps power boost last longer than 16meg like for 5+ minutes. i just assume their headend is broken or they are doing field tests.

Thanks OP
I got a setup of the Preferred Package (and HBO) from this guy for $45/mo for 12 months, there is $15/mo for an additional HD DVR, with only $20 installation charge for 3 outlets.
I also save $20/mo off my 22mb HSI by adding Cable.
