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

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

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..

Offer:XFINITY™ Internet Performance Service for $19.99 per month for months 1-12 and $34.99 per month for months 13-24. 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 |

Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.
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
I look at it this way:
$7/mo x 12mo = $84 yearly rental fee
$84 + $33 one time install = $117 to use theirs.
I bought a SB6141 for $65 on eBay (from modems modems), and can switch between any cable provider if you play the game right.
It pays off when you avoid contracts, always getting new customer deals, even though you (or somebody you live with) were one last year. These guys are so desperate for business and the competition means that we're the winners.
I can't get Comcast here though, wish I could. In addition to their iCrap/Droid TV app, they also have one for the xbox 360, so that's one less HD box to worry about.
I am currently paying $80~ for basic cable and performance internet. Was paying $45 after taxes up till November. I called several times for a better deal but it never happened something about getting off promotion for 3 month before another promotion can be applied.
I received the $14.99 flyer in the mail for lowest tier internet. My plan was to cancel service and reconnect with my wife's name. I called up to cancel and told them that I no longer wanted service. They offered me current service for $49.99 for 6 months. I let them know that I really don't care for TV that I was just interested in the internet. First they offered me $39.99 for performance. When I told them I was not interested than they offered me $29.99. (Both were for 6 months). That was as low as they would go. So I cancelled the service.
Called next day (*** don't call from your current plan's phone they know who you are ***) and told them I was interested in setting up service. They tried to sell me every service that they have (cable, internet, phone, home alarm, etc). I let them know that I had a flyer that was offering me $14.99 for 12 months of internet. At first the person said that they didn't offer any discounts for more than 6 months. I very politely let her know that I had a flyer that said otherwise. I was than place on hold for 5 mins (yes 5 mins). The person came back stating that offer was for the lowest tier internet. I asked if it was for 12 months. They said yes. They wanted to up sell me now was my turn to let them. I asked how much for next tier (performance). They told me $39.99. So I asked if there wasn't a $29.99 plan. At first they said no but they kept looking and within 30 seconds or so said yes. I reconfirmed with her that offer was for performance internet for $29.99 for 12 months. They stated after the 12 months that it would be $39.99 for another 12 months than after that it would be $45.99. Slickdeal here I come. They told me would need a technician to connect my internet a $50+ charge. Taking the advice others here have stated I scheduled it one week after my old service would be cancelled. I also asked for new account number and email confirmation.
So I called back the following day and told them that I had requested to cancelled my service but that I wanted to know what the prorated balance was. Remember never leave any lose ends, I had returned my cable box a few weeks earlier and would have all balances paid before my last day of service (with old account). By chance they also let me know that my service would continue for a week after I left but that I wouldn't be charged.
I will call the day after my old service ends and setup my modem. After that I will cancel that technician.
I would like to thank all thoses who have contributed to this thread.
The mistake the others had made, was not getting the terms specified in writing, up front. There is no guarantee that they will in fact honor the contract. However, when you get it in writing, you can make a much stronger case if they attempt any bull$hit.
If you don't see any page, then you'll have to have a guy come out to switch on your service. If you do see the page, then you can have them waive the install fee, and have them send you the self-install kit. That should be like a $10 to $15 charge for the kit, and it should have the coaxial cable and splitter you need: http://customer.comcas
Good luck, and remember, there aren't any "noob questions," only noobs. Hehe.

Anyway, called in today! The previous owner still hasn't disconnected his service so I will able to waive the installation fee. What retarded was that the first guy I called cannot disconnect the service for me before starting a new one so he transferred it to a very nice lady. She disconnected and started a new service for me within 5 min and gave me a bump to 30mbps for free!! All for 19.99/month!

for free eh? lets us know what your contract says once you get it...I've heard too many I got this and that, and then they come on here pissed off....just read a few pages of threads before this one and you'll see what I'm saying
The service was activated during the past weekend. The download and upload speeds were about 26.5 and 4.5 Mbps respectively from a online test (also verified by the agent on phone who activated my service). How do these numbers compare to other people with the same service?
Wish current customers could get in on this.
