I have been a cable modem customer now for little over 6 years here in Northern California. I started with TCI with @home, to AT&T, now to Comcast all while keeping same account but unfortunately not the same email address. I was even given a double bandwidth increased service for no extra cost, as were most Comcast customers at the beginning of 2004 to almost 3Mbit down/256Kbit up. Now I see I may get a very nice WiFi Wireless benefit as a Comcast customer with WiFi hotspot access. This will be a nice addition.
The news from Yahoo:
T-Mobile to offer Wi-Fi to Comcast customers
“They will unveil a first-of-its-kind partnership that has T-Mobile (DT) marketing its Wi-Fi broadband, available at 4,000-plus retail and airport “hot spots,” to Comcast’s (CMCSK and CMCSA) roughly 5 million broadband customers, tops in the USA. As broadband use grows, it potentially can tap many more of Comcast’s 21 million total customers. To entice new subscribers, the companies are offering:
• One free hot spot “day pass” a month through Dec. 31 if they buy a day pass for $9.99.
• A one-month free Wi-Fi trial.
• A month free with a $29.99-a-month annual Wi-Fi subscription.”
