Comcast Extreme 105 Internet Houston Review

Apr 2, 2012 by Paul White

Since pulling the plug on all my comcast (Xfinity) services except for internet, my bill has dropped to $62.95 / month. However considering I use my computer for work, and I am constantly shuttling large files between my work station and my colocated server, I felt that maybe getting one of the faster Internet connections might be a good idea. So I have upgraded from my Basic Xfinity service that gave me 25 Mbit downstream, and 4 Mbit upstream, to the Blast 105 Service that gives me 105 Mbit downstream and 20 Mbit upstream. Follow me as I blog this experience in detail. We will see if the Extreme 105 from comcast is worth the additional cost and installation fees.

Unplugging from Cable and Phone but keeping internet

Sep 20, 2011 by Paul White

After getting our last bill from Comcast, I decided that I really don't need Cable or Phone.  After all both my wife and I have cell phones with unlimited talk, and even though we do occasionally watch TV, the quality of entertainment in my opinion has gone to crap.  I was able to shave $80 off my Comcast Bill, by keeping the internet only and buying my own DOCSIS 3.0 modem to avoid their $7 / month rental fee.
