Last week we suffered some outages, I called Comcast to confirm. The tech said there were some problems in my area but they should clear by this evening. I chatted with the tech via my cell (4G) and he asked if I would be interested in 105mps minimum service. Up to now I have had 50+ with speed boosts which often took me to just over 100.
i asked what is the catch? He said just try our TV service for a few months, including HBO free of charge. If you like it we set up permanently, if not just return the equipment to UPS with the prepaid sticker. You will still keep the higher speed at your present rate.
I told him I have DIsh for TV. Said it does not matter. You can watch either or both and decide for yourself.
I almost have it all set up, except I do have to drop my internet line into another room so I can split the signal between the Comcast box and home network. I am trying this without the Wireless Gateway hooked up. That brings up my question, will I gain anything using the Comcast all-in-one wireless over my 6141 Motorola Surfboard modem and Asus N66U wireless router? (no comcast phone).
Side Note: I checked my internet speed about 30 min after the phone call and it was running over 160mps. It has not dropped below 130 since I signed on to this deal.
