New promo price for "Xfinity Plus"

[andy_horton]

I saw on my tv that the fairly new bundle for 25mb performance internet, streampix, HBO....didn't mention limited basic for 39.99. Not sure if it's for 6 months or a year. I've read on here several people would jump on this if the price was right. I'm in the Chattanooga .TN market. FYI

its for 12 months at least here in Minneapolis. We had a thread on it earlier

and the "fine print"

I had seen the thread earlier. Wasn't sure if the price was universal on special. Not much fine print on the tv ad. I used my dvr to pause at the fine print and it just said to go to website for more info. Good deal...if you can live with the "fine print"

 

[Mr Tony]

I know it says "HBO" but is it just HBO or all the HBO "children" too?

 

[andy_horton]

Not sure. It did say access and watch HBO online. Don't know about the others. It should be all of them..you would think.

Yes, 'tis true.

Got a call late last week from local Comcast sales. Blast! Plus 50 Mbps with 50-channel basic cable with Streampix for $39.99 for 12 months, then $59.99 for months 13 - 24, then market rates beyond that.

I jumped on it, given that our current 25 Mbps Blast! Internet only was at $29.99 for 6 months and then $49.99 for months 7 - 12.

Because we use Comcast strictly for HSI, and with things changing the way they are (such as speed doubling), I'd expect we'll be at 105 Mbps before year-end 2014.

Now just waiting for cable box to show up; the 50 Mbps doesn't get provisioned until the box is called in.

We'll see how it goes

It might be time for me to call my local Comcast to see what they can do for me. I'm paying just under $65 a month for nowhere near those speeds.

Comcast and others are getting worried with market share! Over the air is starting to get more popular and roku plus pc internet streaming is explodeing.I for one is planning to drop all but the internet!I wonder what kind of deal they will try to sell me to keep me with the cable tv.

Finally called in. First tier couldn't do anything for me unless I was willing to bundle. Loyalty was able to apply a 12 month promotion dropping me from $66.95/month to $44.95/month for 25 Mbps service (with the comment that my area is going to be upgraded soon so I should expect a speed hike). Not shabby at all. This is much more in line with what I was paying after my initial promotion with them and seems fairly reasonable. Given some of the promotions in this thread, I probably could have done better, but I'm happy enough at this price point.

Interestingly, I could have gotten the Streampix and HBO bundle for $59.99, I just don't need that redundancy.

 

[Mr Tony]

was looking at crapcast in Minneapolis and noticed they changed their plans. They now have 2 "xfinity plus" offers

39.99 for lifeline + 25MB internet
44.99 for lifeline + Blast (50MB)

they also dropped the plan that was digital economy (think family cable minus sports and Viacom channels) + Blast for I think 49.99 a month
