How much does Cable internet cost?

Question

I have the highest speed of DSL and it's like. 45 a month?
How much does Comcast cable internet cost?
It's faster.

I have their Digital cable, so I think I get a discount.
But how much is the price of it monthly?
After introduction fees.

And is it worth it?

Answer 1

Cable is not faster.

Cable wants to be faster. It's like a Porsche driving on an LA highway. Most of the time you're just stuck in traffic.

The D in DSL means dedicated. Something cable can't get you.

To answer the question, it depends on where you live and who provides it. It can vary depending on provider. Watch for the sucker plans ($19 now, $60 later).

Answer 2

You'd should be better of going with cable internet since you already have TV through Comcast. You'd probably be charge 40-50 bucks, depending where you live.

Where I live, Verizon DSL is only 3Mb/sec, but Comcast is 5Mb/sec with speed boost up to 12Mb/sec.

For the money, you'd be happier with cable internet over DSL. Cable may slow down a little whenever more people in your neighborhood are on, but it'll still be faster than DSL, and you won't notice the difference.

Answer 3

To the person who claims DSL is faster,

You're wrong. What DSL company can give you 10 down /1 up?

Certainly not SBC or AT&T or whatever they're called now (they change names more than they change underwear...I can't keep up).

I have Insight Broadband and my Internet is DOUBLE what DSL can offer for $40 a month. DSL relies on distance from the base. Cable is the same speed regardless of your distance from the offices.

I'm not sure of Comcast's speeds offered, but go to http://www.broadbandreports.com and check out the Comcast Internet forums for more info.

Answer 4

We have a dish instead of cable and we pay $45 a month. Internet and phone is through Verizon and costs us $40 a month ($15 for DSL and $25 for phone.) This is in Eastern PA.

Answer 5

Each ISP has two or more different "levels" of speed for home users, and then has two or more "levels" of speed for business users, and each has a different cost, and that cost varies from provider to provider.

The best way for you to find out this information is to contact each ISP and ask. You can also go to their websites and look for the information on packages there.

Is it worth it? Well, that would depend on what each individual's needs are, and what they wish to do with it. Nobody here could say that it is worth it for you, only for ourselves.
