Today, I've received my third call from a Comcast sales rep wanting to review my plan. My TV is currently Digital Preferred and my Internet is Blast 50. (Yes, Blast 50. Blast for the Chicago market is not 100 yet. The rep on the phone confirmed that.)
The rep had two options for me. 1) stay with double play on my current package, but get a discount if i use the Xfinity Wireless gateway. 2) do a triple play package and pretty much match what I'm paying now.
What really annoys me is in order to benefit from any kind of decent discount these days, Comcast is forcing you to use their wireless gateway and sign up for home phone service. Even if you don't sign up for triple play, your bill benefits from having the wireless gateway.
It's just not right...
