I was Comcast customer - the initial rate only lasted until the renewal - then they increased my rate 2-3x without any notice or warning. So, I ended out of pocket by significant amount.
I was unable to negotiate nor to get out of the contract in any reasonable ways. It was very upsetting experience. The company was behaving unethically with anger and retaliated with cutting my internet connection in the middle of the billing term. I ended up with CenturyLink for about the same intro rate. I expect the same headache at the end of CL contract term. I cannot recommend Comcast, especially on price and customer behavior. Their service was otherwise fine while it lasted. Horrible company.
