Exploring Comcast Option
My AT&T Uverse 300 and Intenet 75MB promo is expiring, I currently am paying $130/mo. for both and have been happy with value. But now this will go up to $182/mo. and not a good value. I called AT&T and asked if I could continue the promo and they can't do that.
They offered a similar package (minus Showtime, Starz, etc) for a little bit more than the U300 promo I had for the 1st 12 mo. but I have to lock in for 24 months and the last 12 months is very expensive.
Comcast Xfinity has a package very similar to Uverse 300 with a 100Mb download speed, I can add in showtime for $139 per month, so I am seriously considering moving. This is only a 12 month contract
Any thoughts on Comcast performance or reliability lately? I have used in past (about 10 years ago) and performance was good, but extremely expensive, and usually forced a 24 mo commit, what I am seeing Comcast seems like the better option, but wanted to hear from others who have some recent experience with both companies
Thanks,
Eric

@browndk26 - Great idea, I went through the steps and The $139.94 per month includes X1 Cloud DVR ($9.95/mo.) & Wireless Gateway ($10.00/Mo.) + Showtime ($10.00/mo), Starz (free) and StreamPix (free) + a one time fee of $89.99 install (not really sure what they do, other than plug in cable and hook up router to cable box)
@my thoughts - I bet you are right that after 1 year Comcast will likely jump significantly, I would guess close to $200/mo., but the nice thing is I would be done with the one year commitment and could drop them. Then I would have option to consider AT&T again (Since AT&T would then consider me a new customer and I would qualify for whatever promotion there is for a new customer). I would rather not ping pong back and forth, as I have been happy with the service and value I had with my current package - but not seeing a better alternative at the moment.

@my thoughts - I am married and this sounds like a better option, will look into this more. Would like to stay with AT&T if possible. Thank you
