Xfinity - Add TV Get a Free iPad ymmv targeted

-3 Deal Score
8,230 Views
Got this in my email. Link was targeted so I can't post it. I'm in MA and currently have internet and mobile with them. The 60 Mbps is currently costing me $49.99/mo. (which is all I can get here).

The link took me to a TV/ Internet deal that seems to be $59/mo with faster 100 Mbps internet, no contract. But that won't apparently qualify for the iPad. The other deal for 150 Mbps internet at $69/mo with 2 yr contract apparently does however.

UPDATE - I called and got handed off to no less than 5 people. After 30 min of classic Comcast, I was told that only customers who sign up online by upgrading thru their account page qualify.

Since there is nothing to that effect in my email & given the the reps' state of confusion, I basically don't trust half of anything I heard. Especially since my email specifically said "call for details".

Sorry. I'm hoping someone can post some more helpful results.

I looked into that. Between internet and tv, compared to dish network, it cost me $600 more over the 24 month periods with all taxes and fees. Not including the price hikes that xfinity likes to give you.

While the pricing is definitely not worth it, when you lock into these 12/24 month contracts they can't raise pricing on you.

My offer is $80 for 150 Mbps with the 140 channel package for 1 year with the iPad.

Considering I pay about the same for 150 + Playstation Vue I am considering it. Our current tablet is the 2nd gen Nexus 7!

Exactly, the 80 package is actually 120 a month with fees and taxes. And that's just for one tv.

Playstation = $48.70
Comcast TV = $57.17
Both = $105.87

Dont worry i plan on calling to verify the local fees and taxes for an estimation of the bill but lets say ~120 per month.

$15 x 12 = $180. Its not the greatest deal but its also not too bad.

My landscaper has been hiding a note behind one of my shutters announcing that he is increasing a service or access fee by $2-$5 per month and increasing the charge for me to rent is his lawnmower while the lawn is cut. He does that 5 or so times per year.

When I ask about it, he says there has been no material change in the terms of my contract.

Can always cancel TV after IPad is shipped, and sign on new contract with internet only.

I gave up on Comcast. I got tired of their hard sell on the Triple Play. They don't seem to understand that landlines are a thing of the past ... even if they are VOIP.
