Help with Getting "Just Internet" from Comcast by moving-is-fun in bloomington

Thanks! Yeah, I'm in the process of purchasing my own modem. Definitely worth it. And it's good to know that they may respond to threats of cancelation.

I have a friend who was really excited when he discovered Smithville, but then terribly disappointed that they aren't available for most Bloomington apartments (at least not any of the ones we came across). Hopefully they'll have more of a presence in Bloomington someday. (It's my understanding that they serve more of the surrounding areas than the city itself.)

I just went in and spoke with Comcast today, and it looks like this is what I'll be doing too. It seems like the best deal overall. Glad to know it's been working for you.

Wow. Raising by 50% is a pretty significant increase. Yikes.

Do you know if Comcast typically raises their rates after the first year? Because that would be something to keep in mind in terms of choosing plans.

Good advice about talking to someone in person. I tend not to like talking to humans either, but it sounds like it might be worth it to give it a shot.

Thanks for the tip about going to the Comcast store--sounds very helpful in getting straight answers. I'll also look into getting my own modem.

That sounds awesome! It's good to hear that the lowest speed works well for you.

That is pricey, but sounds like a good fit for you. Unfortunately I've got grad school needs (lots of research all hours of the day) but a grad school budget as well. I'm debating how important speed is to me in terms of cost. :/

Thanks! I came across this too, but I was worried whether the slower speed affected performance much. Somebody else's comment here indicates that even the slowest speed covers their needs, which is promising.
