Ultimate Comcast / Infinity Internet deal- $19.99/Month for 1 year with no additional service required

+106 Deal Score
1,027,268 Views
UPDATE 2/25/2012 - Got another flier(cost me $15-and i only mentioned to few people so far(read update 2/21 below) for the same offer with a new Expiration date(3/18/2012), whats better is this offer has a different phone number - so try the new number if got shot down on the number from 1st flier. Both fliers are current as of today and attached on the bottom.

UPDATE 2/21/2012 - Reading through the replies - It seems that this thread has helped a lot of SD'ers to receive this(or a similarly slick) offer by either just mentioning the existence of the flier or more commonly faxing/emailing the copy of it to a Comcast rep that asks for it to verify that such a slick offer actually exists. That fact as well as the fact that my neighbors seemingly keep receiving the new versions of this flier on the regular basis(although undetermined interval) gave me an idea. I can try to offer a reward to my entire neighborhood (during a next city hall meet, email list that i can get from local DJ, or just stapling a reward note on a several streets/stores close to my house) in the sum of $15 for each new flier they bring to me - only for the offer i don't already have a flier for (usually means a new/later expiration date and some new/different internal Comcast numbers/codes on it- rest of this offer seems to stay the same(well graphics change as well sometimes)) and only an original flier in the original envelope (to eliminate Photoshoping bounty huntersSmilie. This way i can keep posting new/not yet expired (faxing/emailing expired fliers to Comcast reps will give them a good reason to deny it on the grounds of "that offer is no more") fliers here for my fellow SD'ers. Also if you get a similar flier/offer yourself (or any of your neighbors/friends/relatives do) - post it in this thread and PM me so i can put it into the first/this post(sorry not offering reward for that - but helping fellow SD'ers should be enough of a reward). What do you guys think of this plan? If i get enough reps indicating you think its a good idea - i will offer that reward to keep fliers coming!

UPDATE 2/15/2012 - New Fliers are attached on the bottom (my neighbour got the offer in mail and saved the filer for me) new Expiration is 3/4/2012
UPDATE 2 - Ran some bandwidth tests on this plan - results below

My buddy somehow got the flier for that elusive internet offer that everyone was talking about but i was unable to find anywhere else. Finally got the flier from him and scanned it(sorry about the quality i tried to make it better but my scanner is pretty old and about 5 mins past its expiration date). So far him, his GF, her brother+ his GF and my buds GF's brother's GF's sister(lol-i think i got that right) have successfully signed up by calling the number on the flier(apparently if you just call comcast - they dont know anything about this deal at all). All are in Mass except for the last one- she lives in NH. Out of all only my bud had it installed already-rest are waiting for scheduled appointments(tech to come to house)-but i dont think there will be any problem at this point.

Deal is:
$19.99 a month for 12 months(1 year) and $34.99 for months 13-24(2nd year). Only 1 year agreement(contract) is required so you can cancel right after your bill goes from $20 to $35 in month 13. Best part is - no additional service needs to be purchased(so dont need to sign up for TV or Phone). It is for new customers only(which i think means you didn't have any comcast service for at least last 3 month-not sure on this one though).

Bandwidth Tests on this plan(all ran on 2/15/2012):
Gateway = modem + router in one - (yes i know just modem is less headache but i got real good deal on it and honestly so far it worked perfect as u can see below(same results 24/7 not just offpeak/night).

I just bought new gateway(upgraded from 2 yo SBG900(Docsis2.0(1Down/1UP))) -
Motorola SBG6580 (Docsis3.0 (8channels(4 used ATM) DOWN // 4(1 used ATM) UP) [motorola.com]
FirmWare - SBG6580-3.1.0.0-GA-07-180-NOSH (Old FW(newest is 3.3.1.0 (FW can only be updated by Comcast on gateways and cable modems(thats the reason some people recommend against getting gateways and sticking with 2 separate boxes(cable modem and wire(ed/less) router)- at least FW on the router can be updated by customer then)

All tests on this gateway with this exact plan(Performance(15/3)) ran 2/15/2012:

Use this link to get $ 29.99 for 12 months in Bay area, CA. Download Speed of 20 Mbps or 3 Mbps for $ 14.99 for 12 months and No Contract

http://comcast.com/gethighspeed


any new flyers?
New flyer from Massachusetts exp 9/23/2012 ph 877-724-0629 (see pdf).

"I Call 877-298-0903.
I don't even need to tell them what I want. This number is specially for the $19.99/month deal. They will ask if you are looking for the deal. The first word you will say is "Yes."
I live in the Bay Area, CA.

They will force you to have a installation appointment even you don't want to/need to. And have you wait a few days and charge you $25 for it. I think I have a way to avoid the stupid installation fee and start using the internet service instantly. I think this works only if you have Comcast internet service before. And of course you will need to have your own modem.
Before doing so you have to find your comcast account ID. Try to use your info that you used to open your account, and register an online account on comcast.com. Then login to that online account. You will see your account number on the first page. Copy it down.
If you are a new customer, be sure to ask the rep [the one you're signing up with] for your account number

1. Connect your modem directly to your computer.
2. Go to any website.(I went to google.com)
3. Comcast activation page show up, enter your account number and SSN or something like that.
4. Follow the steps...
5. BAM! Service activated. You have the Internet now!
6. Call 1 800 391 3000 then press "3" and follow the steps to cancel your appointment you perviously made. (I got refuse to cancel the appointment by calling the normal 1 800 COMCAST number.


I hope this can help anyone who know what they are doing and want to save the $25 that you don't have to pay." <-- Awesome steps! Thanks go to dennis118 bounce

24 MONTH TERM CUSTOMER AGREEMENT

Thank you for choosing Comcast!

A description of the Offer ("Offer") you have ordered is described above. The Offer is subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement ("Agreement"), including the minimum term and early termination provisions under Paragraph 2 below. You may cancel this Agreement within thirty (30) days of the date services ("Service(s)") under the Offer are installed / activated, as applicable. If you wish to cancel this Agreement, you must call Comcast at 1-800-COMCAST. (Upon cancellation you are required to return all equipment provided by Comcast.)

If you do not cancel this Agreement within the 30 day period, the terms of this Agreement will automatically apply and you will be billed for the Services at the rates specified under the Offer.

For customers who install Service with a self-installation kit, the 30 day period begins on the day service is activated and for customers who have Service installed by a Comcast, installer, the 30 day period begins on the date of installation.

Terms:

1) The customer receiving this Offer named above ("you" or "Customer") will receive the Services under the Offer and for the first 24 months from the date the Service is activated / installed, at the price specified above plus applicable taxes, activation fee, and if Comcast Digital Voice is included, the Regulatory Recovery Fee and other applicable charges (e.g. per-call or International charges). AFTER THE 24 MONTH PERIOD, COMCAST'S THEN CURRENT APPLICABLE CHARGES WILL APPLY. You agree to maintain the Service for 24 months with your account in good standing. Comcast is not responsible for lost or misdirected agreements.

2) YOU AGREE THAT IF ANY SERVICE FOR THE OFFER ARE CANCELLED, DOWNGRADED OR DISCONNECTED FOR ANY REASON DURING THE 24 MONTH PERIOD (EXCEPT DURING THE FIRST 30 DAYS OF SERVICE ACTIVATION / INSTALLATION AS PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 3 BELOW), AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE OF UP TO $75 SHALL APPLY. DURING THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT, THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE WILL BE REDUCED BY $7.50. EVERY THREE MONTHS, BEGINNING WITH THE SECOND MONTH AFTER THE INSTALLATION. IN ADDITION, IF SERVICE IS DOWNGRADED, COMCAST'S APPLICABLE CHARGES FOR SERVICE AND EQUIPMENT WITHOUT A 24 MONTH AGREEMENT WILL APPLY TO ANY REMAINING SERVICES. YOU ALSO AGREE THAT FOLLOWING THE 24 MONTH PERIOD, COMCAST'S APPLICABLE CHARGES FOR SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT WITHOUT A 24 MONTH TERM AGREEMENT SHALL APPLY UNLESS SERVICE IS CANCELLED BY CALLING 1-800-989-4651.

3) If during the term of this Agreement you cancel Service because you move your residence to a location within a Comcast serviceable area and you reconnect to comparable Services offered by Comcast (as determined by Comcast), within 30 days of disconnection, the amount of the early termination fee will be credited upon proof of installation. If Comcast does not offer comparable Services and you activate Comcast residential Cable, Comcast High-Speed Internet or Comcast Digital Voice service within 30 days of your Service disconnection, the amount of the early termination fee will be credited upon proof of installation. To receive the credit, you must contact Comcast by calling, 1-800-989-4651 within forty-five (45) days of Service disconnection.

4) Services under the Offer are for one outlet (except for Comcast Digital Voice.) Comcast's applicable charges for installation, equipment, and other services not specifically included in the Offer as described above (including without limitation, pay per view, and other non-recurring charges) are additional. The provisions of this Agreement supplement the general terms and conditions of the Comcast agreement for residential services for Cable Service, High- Speed Internet and Digital Voice (as amended in accordance with their terms).

5) Comcast may rearrange, delete, add to or otherwise change programming or features or offerings contained in the Services.

Again, thank you for choosing Comcast. Please call us if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Comcast Customer Service
COMCAST does HARD CREDIT PULL/INQUIRY on all customers who subscribe to TV and Internet customer. It is same as the HARD PULL done by Credit card companies.
-Can anyone confirm the Hard Inquiry? I can't believe they would be that stupid. I am buying a new home and can't afford a hard hit before the mortgage closes.
- They gave me the option of providing a $50 refundable security deposit if I wanted to opt out of a credit lookup. Seems like a good alternative for us worried about our credit score (app-o-rama, future mortgages, loans, etc)
-I can confirm this too, they do Hard Inquiry..

Comcast-XFINITY supported modems [comcast.net]

Comcast will track the number of times you call to look for a deal. I did this same offer 12 months ago and only received it on the 3rd try. Pricing was $44.95, $29.95, and then $19.99 with contract. THey even bothered to ask me why I kept calling back so may times -- I said it was because the rate got better every time and they went very quiet. Big Grin

Much like many others in this thread, I signed up for a Comcast deal in the last year.

First few months? Price was right
Month 4 - Unwarranted price hike
Month 5 - Unwarranted price hike even further
Month 6 - Like a bad night in prison
Month 7 - I cancelled and switched to AT&T, which though it is significantly slower, and also has billing errors, at least they are less egrigious and happy to fix their "screwups"

Each time Comcast price hike'd, I'd have to call and argue. Months 6 and 7 only resulted in partial refunds of the hikes.

These "deals" are bullshit ladies and gents. They'll wait a few months for you to get comfortable and then hike the rates, hoping that you don't notice.

broken record time again...until a few of us start recording these calls, and then after getting screwed, posting them on youtube....after a bunch of proof, I guarantee you they change policy...until then, its our word against theirs... so now most on here KNOW what happens alot of the time, they shouldn't be surprised ... it will take about 5-10 minutes to record it, and then have piece of mind, and if they try to screw you again, you have proof, pretty simple...

Thinking about dumping ATT for Comcast but anyone know what the deal is with bandwidth caps?

The only reason I'm still using ATT now is I do a lot of hd streaming and they don't enforce their caps.

I just called the 0903 number at 10:50 am PST asking about the price of the Economy Plus promotion, and the lady told me it was $14.99 for one year. Then she tells me they have a Performance promotion as well for $19.99 a year! Did they re-start the $19.99 promotion a year thing again because it's March, or did I just get a lucky rep?

Current customer

Online rep told that they could only do 6-month deals.
Called numbers on flyers and as soon as recognized I was current customer, they told me to call Comcast.
Called Comcast direct and they told me that Loyalty dept was closed today, but to call back tomorrow.

I so hate this company, but their the only game in town.

I'll talk to Loyalty tomorrow and see if I can get a match on the deal in the flyer.

Nothing, I was calling in for a friend whose bill has gone through the roof. Right now I'm on their 6 month promotion for $19.99 already, which turns to $34.99 after that. The good thing is, that I'm not on any contract, and they don't insist that you have to wait 90 days to be eligible as a new customer! See the trick is, you have to cancel service. Wait a day or two, then call the 0903 and tell them you don't have any Comcast service, and they start you on a new account number.

I called because I noticed my bill was about $9 higher then in previous months. I asked what was the reason for the hike, they went on to explain I agreed to a trial for the next tier of speed in December, to which I responded then why am I getting charged in February for something "I agreed on in December, the truth being I didn't agree to anything in December!". She looked into it and indeed it wasn't an "authorized" price increase and upgrade, she gave me credit for that. Next I asked since I have been a customer for over 10 years I would like a deal on my service since new customers get all the perks. They transfered me over to customer relations, to which I was able to negotiate getting the highest tier for the same price I am paying now, So I got $80 service for $49.99 for the next year. That works for me since I need the higher speed with both me and my wife playing black ops 2 on 2 seperate PS3s.

Quick question - let's say my household has an account opened under one person's name ("Bob"). Bob's name remains on the account after having to move, and "Steve" pays the bill through the online account with Steve's CC (but Bob is still the "account owner").

If Steve plans later to close Bob's account and open one under his own name, would having paid using his CC under Bob's account cause any issue? It's not the same as having an actual account with them (e.g. within past 6 months), right? As in, when signing up for new service, would Comcast search Steve's name and find it in their database due to his payment information under Bob's account? Or is the criteria they use for pre-existing service only to check whose name/SSN under which the account was opened?

Just trying to plan for the near future. Thanks.

As far as I've dealt with them, Comcast identifies the account holder by three criteria. The account number, their phone number, and the last 4 digits of their social security number. They do not keep track of you through method of payment. I however would never give Comcast my CC as I've read stories on posts like these of how they love to "mistakenly" over charge you, or just flat out charge you, even after you cancel with their service. Unless of course you're doing the "One time payment" thing, and not allowing them to keep your card on file.

called the 877-298-0903

20 MB Down/2 MB Up $29.99 mo/ 12 month no contract
$33.00 one time installation
$7.00/mo Modem Rental

After you sign up, they will give you an account number. I asked for all of this e mailed so if there are questions in further months. We'll see what is e mailed.

Even with the instal (fee), this will still be ok if they don't try and jack around the monthly fee. The other offer (s) are for 6 months then they really increase the monthly. Modems are available to purchase (or lease). I look t it this way. If there is a problem with the modem they fix it.

This was the deal they had for CA
