Should I trust Comcast?

Jlg823 · Apr 6, 2016

Okay so I'm looking at the Blast Plus which is 45+ channels (for tv) and "up to" 75mbps download and I'm assuming 10mbps up? Can anyone confirm this? Whose happy with their experience with Comcast and is there anything suspicous I should watch out for? I know for the first year its $60 and it says it'll go up to $90, but is there anything else that may change?

Can you trust Comcast?

What are your local alternatives?
I have no experience with Comcast, but many do not like them.

However...what else do you have available?

Literally only AT&T and Comcast. I already have Comcast television, I mainly want to know if I can trust their internet.

Keep in mind its "up to". There's many factors that kick on actual, almost always you are limited from the place you are downloading from.

That being said, I have blast internet, which is advertised at up to 150 Mbps download and 10 mbps upload. (heck, even the speed tests vary when you choose servers farther away from you. I live in Boston, I just New York, New York).

Actual Results: 121 Mbps download and 11.86 Mbps upload.

Aside from the incompetent TriWire associates who every year think its a brilliant idea to rewire our apartment building, I haven't had issues with their service. If you own a house, you'll almost never have to deal with them anyway. Service is very consistent in our area. Don't be surprised when your bill goes up though, promo prices are promo prices, find out your cost also after 1 year, then 2 years.

Alright thanks for the information and will it be raised higher than what they say? On the website it says after the 2 year promo it will raise , to $90.

From an overall price perspective on your package, no. However, should Comcast decide to adjust their prices higher year by year, they can and have done that, but I've never see it go up too much overall, usually $5-10. They also usually notify you of those adjustment one month before the new prices kick in.
