After that it goes to $154...the initial price is a promotional price so you get to have a very good service for less price for the first two years. With Comcast you can also get 2 other TVs set up for FREE with all the channels except premium movie channels. YOur best deals are from the customer service to the door folks.

Any time anyone deals with a telecom it is strictly a "buyer beware" situation.

I would gladly pay $110 per month for that service. We have ComCrap available here, but once their promo rates expire, their rates are much higher than this.

But, on the last image from the ad, it says very clearly: "$84,99/month for 1 year" and below that "A $300 savings!" (which is the diffence between $109.99/month regular fee and the promotioanal $84.99/month times 12 months). The only sneaky thing would be in my opinion that the mandatory 2 years contract, with the 2nd year at regular fee isn't specified in the ad.
