I guess if you really want a Wii then this is an option?
For those in offer markets that only offer double play...
by cyndymcc - 7/28/08 4:58 PM In reply to: Comcast Offers Wii(TM) Systems to New Triple Play Customers by z3ro1Be sure and ask for the same Wii offer - Comcast will honor it.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
by mementh - 7/28/08 9:39 PM In reply to: For those in offer markets that only offer double play... by cyndymccThat is WRONG... If your area does NOT HAVE PHONE.. this offer is not available to you.
You MUST be able to get all three services.
Also there is a contract that if you move you MUST have the SAME or EQUIVILENT service in the new Comcast area.
Your given the Tripple Play Price for the 1st year, and year # 2 will be normal rates (non promotional). You will have to stay at that rate.
If you have to change your plan or move to a area without all three services you will be pro rated. If you have not completed a full year you will be charged the $250 for the Wii, If you have completed 1 year you will be charged half $125.
How did you come upon this information?
by cyndymcc - 7/29/08 5:37 PM In reply to: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO by mementhI ask because my gf is on the campaign team that launched this offer, and that is not what I've been told.
Its what i was given
by mementh - 7/29/08 9:39 PM In reply to: How did you come upon this information? by cyndymccCool that your gf works for marketing 
Honestly, I don't know why there are diffrences.
I was given a sheet telling me sales points and the rules/regs (and I hope I spelled out the most important ones)
I didnt realize you work for them...
by cyndymcc - 7/30/08 4:42 PM In reply to: Its what i was given by mementhHey, I know when I've been trumped! Seriously, I'm sure you have the best data.

Comcast-Wii scam
by meaky11 - 7/30/08 8:16 PM In reply to: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO by mementhDon't worry-you didn't miss anything. My mother signed up the day
that Comcast started advertising this "promotion" and after about an
hour and 3 robots later, I was told that she didn't qualify since she
already had "standard" cable. Whatever that means. She doesn't have
digital or a cable box, and there is no other choice for cable in our
area besides Comcast. However, that is all besides the point. Their
promotion in writing states that the offer is good to all "New Triple
Play Customers". It's a scam. Tell everyone about it.
I apologize
by mementh - 8/1/08 9:42 PM In reply to: Comcast-Wii scam by meaky11I apologize that your mother got some information that was in error, the promotion is meant for those that have never had service before.
Comcast Scams and false advertises too!
by meaky11 - 8/3/08 11:50 AM In reply to: I apologize by memenththats NOT what the promo says though. The offer states, "New Triple Play Customers". Why is no one picking up on this wording? If Comcast meant it to be for those that never had service before, then that is what they should have put in writing.
There are few ways in which
by mementh - 8/3/08 2:50 PM In reply to: Comcast Scams and false advertises too! by meaky11There are few ways in which a current customer could get a tripple play.
The only ways I am aware of is if they have limited (which depends on area but usually just a cable access of the Over The Air Channels).
Or if a customer has just Internet Service only. (or Internet and limited)
And it has been said that if any service is active then the promotion is not available.
I aplologize again. But generally "New Tripple Play Customers" are those that have never had service or have not had service for several months.

Matt Miller about Wii deal
by maxx1010 - 8/9/08 3:32 PM In reply to: Comcast Wii Promotion by Consumer LawyerMy son got the whole pkg triple play installed the day 1st day of the offer, comcast says because he ordered it before that date he doesn't qualify....doesn't seem right to me....any thoughts? He just moved to DC.
Patti
it only applies
by mementh - 8/9/08 5:53 PM In reply to: Matt Miller about Wii deal by maxx1010The offer only applies when you ordering durign the promotional time.
I am sorry 
Isn't there a 30 day service cancellation window?
by cyndymcc - 8/9/08 8:36 PM In reply to: Matt Miller about Wii deal by maxx1010If so, I'd suggest your son cancel what he just ordered, then re-sign up to get the Wii deal.
there is but
by mementh - 8/9/08 9:16 PM In reply to: Isn't there a 30 day service cancellation window? by cyndymccThere is but you would have to be canceled for 30-120 days before you would qualiify for another promotion depending on the area.
So thats not a good suggestion in this issue.
