I call in every 12 months to get this deal renewed — the "regular" price is $50. AT&T is not available in my area, except for anemic 3/1 Mbps DSL service.
I live on the border of RWC and Woodside, and have talked to neighbors in central Woodside whom Comcast does not serve and would only do so if they pay $20,000 for the wires to be run to their house. They are stuck with the AT&T DSL service. Lack of choice is undoubtedly part of the reason that Comcast can charge so much here. And it's the reason that I bought Comcast stock a few years ago: https://medium.com/@nicklum/how-my-hatred-of-comcast-drove-m...
