Comcast's Big Gig Rip-Off What a municipal network saves your family. Comcast charges $1000 in setup fees and $300/month for 2 gig** service in the first year without promotional pricing. Also without all the extra fees they will undoubtedly tack on the bill. Yeah yeah yeah, Comcast is offering a 2 gig service compared to 1 gig from the munis. But since home networking gear is all standardized on 1 gig interfaces, the 2 gig offer is clearly a thinly disguised marketing gimmick to help them justify the ridiculously large price tag designed to ensure practically no one takes it. Basically, they like to pretend they are cutting edge rather than extortionists. * ** Where does your money go?
