I had an experience with Comcast where they disconnected our internet for nonpayment. (Even though my bill said it was not yet due. but that is another story) I asked the guy how much I needed to pay and he said $170 to get it turned back on. I called the next day to make a payment, and I asked how much to have the service turned back on and THAT guy told me, $35. I also had an experience where my husband made a payment on the bill, not knowing that I already had done it. He called and asked them to credit the money back to his debit card, and they said they WOULD. They didn't. It showed on the next statement, two identical payments, made consecutively. In short, I think the company is not very organized, and I suggest that if you talk to a rep and are not satisfied, call back and talk to a different rep. (And they wonder why they are losing so many customers to satellite!?)

I have had comcast for a few years now. I hate them, and love the service. Everytime I have a problem I call customer service, and if I am not satisfied then I will call their retention department. There is where I get most of my demands met. If you call and on the automated menu indicate that you want to down grade your service and tell them why, they will listen and fix the issue. Keep in mind that there is ALWAYS someone higher than the CS you might be talking to. Just stick to your guns. I would not doubt they are working those deals because we have got numerous and they are dirt cheap. Of course, I have horror stories of that place, but the cable service, really the DVR is why I stay. In closing, STICK TO YOUR GUNS!
