I was on a Comcast phone/TV/Internet promotional rate for a year, and they wouldn't renew a reasonable rate at the end of the year ("promotional rates are only to acquire new customers" in spite of what they said when I signed up). I needed to port my phone number, so I canceled TV and internet in the interim - and paid more than I'd been paying for the three services combined package.

Then to complete the cancellation, I had to take the modem in to their office in person and wait in line to return it.

Comcast promotional deals: not worth the hassle.

Currently very happy with a community network cable provider internet-only service, against my "lassez-faire" inclinations.
