Not true comcast charges 5.00 for the box and 9.45 for the Hd package. the least you can do is tell the truth
I tell the truth. Each city sets its own prices on the services it offers. I happen to be in an area that only charges $39.99 for the install of HD, and the HD box and HD programming is at NO MONTHLY CHARGE. Here is a copy of my bill.
