More Bandwidth for LE$$ ???

Posted on May 15, 2008 at 9:55 pm by jasonlee

I got a call from one of our attendees to alert me to some recent price changes with Comcast Business internet and television services.  He indicated that there was some significant price changes, so of course I had to check this out.

After a couple minute call to Luci at Comcast I learned that we could be saving some serious cash on our two cable modems.  You might recall, none of the local ISPs have any available fiber within 4 miles of our location so last fall we elected to add bandwidth with two cable modems.  Since our service was installed prior to the conversion from Insight to Comcast we are eligible for Comcast’s new pricing… Sweet.

Effective June 1st, our modems will now be a combined 32mb down and 4mb up for a combined savings of $350.00 per month, including basic television service.

If your using Comcast Business give them a call its worth asking the questions…

Thanks for the heads up Rich!!!

    What hardware do you have plugged into your cable modems to load balance / automatic failover the Internet connection?

    Wow! That’s quite a pipe. We’re still only at 10 Meg down and 1 Meg up for one Comcast cable modem. We’ve been on a contract for a while but I think we may be nearing the end. Time to give our sales rep a call! Thanks for the heads up!
