I live in Kirkland (a suburb of Seattle). Paying Comcast $50/month for "Blast Plus" which is 50 mbps + TV, while it's ~$69 for just 50mbps internet. Both are "promo rates" (aka call the retention dpt. once they run out and you'll get them for another year).

$69 for internet is the full price, not the promo teaser rate. The promo rate is $34 (see linked image). I don't know if you can get the promo rate if you aren't a new customer though.

Welp, that's new since I signed up. Will be calling them tomorrow - thanks for pointing that out!

Kirkland resident here, too. Have you looked into Frontier FiOS? We pay $40/month for Internet, non-promo and no TV. (I don't think they've laid fiber optic to every neighborhood in the city yet.)

Frontier's awesome, but they're not available in any apartments in the area and they've ceased fiber expansion a few years back :/
