macprogrammer Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hello, I am currently using EarthLink as my internet service provider, and was looking around and found that Comcast offers a better speed for the $ at this point. I am almost completely hooked to the idea of switching, despite their customer service woes. I was also noticing of some certain sites people have used to get deals on Comcast internet service, particularly this one: http://www.comcastspecial.com/ Are these kind of things legitimate? I would love a free cable modem, but what about the quality of the modem itself? In general, is it a good idea to get comcast high speed internet through these kind of services? Thanks, macprogrammer Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/106932-comcast-internet-deals/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansDampf633 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hi, macprogrammer I'd reconsider switching to Comcast as they are sabotaging bittorrent traffic.

macprogrammer Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 I don't really care much about BitTorrent... In general, do you think it is safe to use a special site like comcastspecial.com?

HansDampf633 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I can't tell. I have no experience with such offers. Can't you ask someone who got such a deal?
