If you don't know of the web site...maybe you know HOW I can get them to allow me to have this deal? I tried telling them, I don't have the phone service so if i sign UP for the phone service, doesn't that QUALIFY me for the deal??!!! They said, NO!!! Anyway...I understand if you can not help..if you can't, no problem and I appreciate you trying atleast :) and reading my message!! Thanx so much :) Sincerely, Rebecca :) Hi, I found a website not to long ago when searching for my Comcast Web site in order to pay my bill..it offered help on “how to get comcast to give you the new comers deal”…reason why is because, I never get lucky to sign up w/ a cable company while they have a REALLY good deal..and now comcast is offering this deal for $66/month for Phone,Cable AND Internet Services for a WHOLE YEAR and I feel like as much money as they’ve STOLEN from my pocket…I should be ENTITLED to this deal!!!

This is a new site dedicated to Ranting and Raving about the Cable Industry.
It is also a good place to ask general questions.

In my area, in addition to cable, we can get TV from the phone company on their fiber optic network. Not to mention two options for satellite: Dish Network, and Direct TV. However, even with four choices, it still seems like a "quadapoly" because it's hard to get a decent selection of channels without spending a bundle, or signing up for the limited time special "triple play offer." --Jonas Only one choice for a cable company?
