Just yesterday I noticed my bill had gone up to $147. I called and did the yearly "I'll cancel if you don't give me a discount" nonsense. An hour out of my day.
Btw, they had raised the price of my 5 static IPs to $24.95 (from $9.95). I have to lease their modem ($12.95) because of the static IPs. I did research and found out that my registrar (namecheap.com) has free dynamic dns, so I'm going to switch to that and give up my static IPs.
So, after the $40 discount I got yesterday, plus the extra $38 for the modem/IPs, I should be down to a reasonable rate again.
It is true, what I said. I have Business Internet and they will not allow activation of a non-Comcast-owned modem when you have static IPs. I know, I tried to do it twice.
Ah yeah, business side I have no experience with. Just wanted to make sure anyone buying on the consumer side knows this, as they tried to pull the same crap with me when it was not true.

I fucking hate Comcast.
