Cable Service Provider Comcast Offers “Get Ready” Plan For DTV Transition

In the light of recent consumers concern over the upcoming required Digital Conversion, Comcast has come up with new incentives under their “Get Ready” plan. Comcast is offering their services to help customers ease thru the transition. Thru this plan they are proposing that consumers do not have to worry about the hassle of switching over from analog to digital and the upcoming February 2009 deadline. Instead they are asking consumers to consider an alternative to buying new converter boxes.

Comcast is ready to give free basic cable service to new customers for a year who subscribe to their internet or phone service, as well. If customers decide not to add either the internet or phone package to their service, they will only pay $10 a month for basic cable for a year. You may call 1-800-Comcast to order any of their services. However it is advisable to remind them of this offer when calling. In addition to offering cable services instead of converter boxes, consumers can check out their website; http://www.comcast.com/dtvsite/index.html for a personalized action plan.
