Comcast and Fairpoint have been mailing me offers of low-cost high-speed internet service. Is there anything I should be aware of in the fine print?
Yes! Beware that often the initial price is only an introductory price for a very limited time and then the price is greatly increased. Some providers lock you into a contract and generally once you are in a contract you cannot get out of it without paying the balance of the obligation or a significant fee. Remember as well, that typically special pricing deals apply only to new customers only. Existing customers will continue to pay the full rate. In terms of quality of service on the Internet beware! Sometimes the fine print promises only 56K – the capacity of a dial-up modem! I currently have Comcast Internet service and I rent their cable modem. I want to change. What do I need to do? Call BT and our customer service staff will arrange an install. Unlike DSL or cable internet service, BT’s service does not require a modem. Our fiber optic hi-speed service is pure ethernet and connects directly to the network card in your PC. I bought a wireless router can I still utilize my wireles
