    Xfinity (Comcast) rate/lineup changes

    Bruce, several points of interest.. What happened locally in the SE TN and N GA market (at minimum) if you'll recall the old cheaper packages didn't include any sports keeping out that pesky sports fee. Now, even their revamped what would've been Digital Economy they add FS1, which when I asked...

    Xfinity (Comcast) rate/lineup changes

    Harshness, in the ATL and certain TN and GA markets Cinemax has been replaced with a service called "Hits." I'm not aware of other regions on this channel. They definitely love to jack up prices on used equipment. My dad said, "Oh, they increased my internet speed...at no extra cost." My...

    Xfinity (Comcast) rate/lineup changes

    Rate increases normally occur on taxes, fees and equipment rental..(gateways, X1 and DVR, etc.) I believe you'd see the increase on your January statement, printed in December since bills are 1 month in advance. Usually on the last page. If you have ecobill, please check it out online. Hope this...

    Can you get a DVR with Comcast Economy?

    Anymore, at least in the Big South region, the answer would be yes. As long as you have HD. They claim the DVR is $10.00. True, but in addition in this region you're required to have HD at $9.99 bringing total cost to $19.99 to actually DVR. The new structuring now includes HD, although I'm...

    MLB Extra Innings on Xfinity

    Depending on the cable system, (This area in N GA being year 1,) Comcast is Beta testing HD MLB Extra Innings. It depends on if the system has the bandwidth...(Most do with Comcast that are digital now.) They are really going after cord cutters with new packages...(I'm still saving cord cutting...

    Thinking Of Switching From Dish To Comcast/Xfinity

    Current YTTV/Philo/Netflix/Starz Encore cord cutter. 25mpbs down, about 2 up. (Ususally get 30 down hardwired, & on 2.4/5Ghz regardless.) Bill is $133. At 25Mpbs, Xfinity Mobile bill is $12.15 per month. (By the gig.) At that speed, most hotspots require me to purchase an internet pass ($$)...

    Xfinity (Comcast) Instant TV

    harshness, fully agree. As a SECOND EDIT:-( , Comcast has informed Instant TV customers it has added $10 for the "broadcast tv fee." Their deception lies in the "bundle." If you bundle internet and regular tv service, while on the bill there is the bundled price, and the line items of fees and...

    Xfinity (Comcast) Instant TV

    Edit-- My original post stated the cost of Instant TV is $20. That is incorrect. The new price effective for many as of Jan 2019 is $12. This includes locals, any of which in HD available, and the current "broadcast tv fee" (varies by market) which went from $7.75-$10,) DVR Lite (20 hrs) Music...

    Xfinity locals still in dispute for Jan 2019

    Xfinity (Comcast) Instant TV

    As far as my data usage, I know most households in general have more ppl thus using more data. That would most certainly push up consumption. Naturally it also depends on an individual's usage any way. My representation was occasionally letting streaming run overnight (now have internet...

    Xfinity (Comcast) Instant TV

    It uses an internal router to connect wirelessly through your home network internet when accessing the internet. If you use their Xfi app, the device inside the X1 will show as a seperate router with its own name and will be assigned automatically. It does have I believe have a port for...

    Xfinity (Comcast) Instant TV

    My highest data usage in 6 months is close to 500GB. Not even half the TB. Might change but I come well under. This month I'm around 256GB for month as of noon today. Updates every few hrs. Their disclaimer is 24 hrs. But 450-500GB is the norm at what I usually come in at for the month Sent...

    Xfinity (Comcast) Instant TV

    I can watch in home and it NOT count against my data. BUT the "To Go" channels, do count. It even provides a little msg on those channels that says, "Accessing the internet..data charges apply" on those channels. But the channels provided to me on my Roku, all in home of course, using their...

    I know someone in Denton OK, and they went with Directv satellite tv and kept CableOne internet. She claimed the internet was decent but cable service was beyond horrid. Sent from my LG-M322 using the SatelliteGuys app!

    I lived in Southeast Ohio, granted about 8-10 yrs ago. Suddenlink ran complete analog yet all avail HD channels, and I received Huntington/Charleston WV locals, Parkersburg WV locals, and at that time Columbus OH ABC and FOX was beamed through microwave. The techs were nice and knowledgeable...

    Grande Communications

    Chattanooga TN through EPB (electric company) was the first to offer true 1GIG internet. Then they added the tv service. Only other alternative besides satellite or U-Verse or Comcast. Comcast is "trying" to offer 1GIG speeds, but I've been told by a very inside "reliable" source, that cable...

Not entirely sure what package it's included in. Third, FS2, widely an asked for channel has been added in HD. Performance internet speeds and...
