My Comcast internet bill was $70+ for this month in Huntsville Alabama, and I don't have cable TV or phone services. This is way too much money for the little they provide. Does anyone know how to get a better deal?
Is there a DSL company or another cable company in your area? Talk to them and find out what introductory rates they have. Call Comcast and see if they can match or beat that offer (in both speed and price). If they won't, switch to the other company. I've found that companies will almost always give you a better deal to retain you, but if they won't, you can bounce back and forth every 6 months.<p>Never rent the modem, buy your own.<p>If there is no competition from DSL, your options are a bit limited. Look into wireless ISPs in your area (they tend to be slower and have severe caps though, at least in my part of the country).
