Internet Connection

That's a good deal. 6 mos at $20 is a decent offer - the rest is gravy.

:I saw this posted on another forum and thought it was a pretty hot :deal. : :I'm looking for a good deal on high-speed internet. My son found a :deal on-line at

Just make sure they don't make you pay for the modem by leasing it for $3 a month ;-)

Verizon is cheaper, they advertise 30$ a month

after the 1st 6 months comcast is going to go up to 45$, at least thats what they charge around here...

unless your doing alot of gaming, comcast might be worth the extra money. but my friends have comcast and say it is sloooow

I had DSL at my apartment. Once I moved into my home I had to get cable because I am too far from the main telco center. I couldn't have made a better choice (albeit forced). The speed is more than twice as fast as DSL ever was. I am also paying less from the promotion and will be paying slightly more when the promotion ends ($56.00 for comcast non-tv-subscriber vs. $49.99 for earthlink). Well worth it in my opinion.

No, but I will look into it thanks. How much is it through Earthlink?

Not sure . . . I'm still in the promotional period at $30/month. I remember thinking that the regular price was cheaper than Comcast though. But that's not too impressive when Comcast is regularly about sixty bucks per month in this area. The earthlink web site should have all the information on how much it will cost. -Dave
