Might be worth calling Comcast and telling them, oh, ever so
politely, that you love their service but you just got a call
from FIOS offering the same options at half the price.

They just might, might, give you that "intro" deal.

I used to do this with the cableco by telling them about
the competing DSL from the telco. This worked back
when the speeds were the same, then when cable was up
to five and DSL at 3 megs, but the next time around,
when cable was at 30, they laughed at me...

You just point out that 30 is ****ing ZERO when it is down and cable
is down a lot here.
My DSL after Irma was back when they dropped a generator at the
concentrator. Comcast's hard line was still laying in the grass a week
later. No TV, no internet and no phone. the triple threat deal.
I already said, my FIL was "Amish" for most of december because
Comcast could not fix his cable.
