You probably already know that Comcast offers the best digital cable TV service available anywhere, but you might not be aware of the fact that it also provides first class telephone service and broadband Internet access as well. While this may come as a surprise, it really only makes sense when you consider the fact that we’re talking about a leader in the telecommunications industry.

While broadband Internet access may be a service that would just make sense to see along with digital cable TV from Comcast, telephone service is definitely less expected to be rolled in with the other two. In spite of that Comcast offers excellent telephone service that far surpasses what’s offered by many traditional phone companies. For example, this phone service is all digital, with provides all of the clarity of sound that any digital service implies. In addition to that, with a phone plan from Comcast, you’ll also be able to make all of the long distance calls that you want at no additional charge- as long as their in the United States. If for some reason you do have to make an international call, you can be guaranteed that the rate on the call will be at least as good, if not better, than what you’d receive from a competing phone company.

In addition to great international rates, incredible sound quality, and free long distance, Comcast will also give you all kinds of extra features at no additional charge. For example, you’ll not only get a complimentary voice mail box, but you’ll also be able to access your messages over the Internet. Other included services encompass call waiting, call forwarding, and caller ID- all of which make using a telephone more convenient, more enjoyable, and safer.

Comcast’s broadband Internet access provides you with an additional way to stay connected and to do so much more. For example, you’ll be able to keep up with all of your friends and family with email and text messaging. You’ll also have access to a whole new online world that you’ve only had the vaguest glimpse of if you’ve been using dial up. That’s because, broadband Internet provides you with download speeds of up to 8 Mbps, which is downright blistering compared to the paltry 56 Kbps possible with dial up. This means that you’ll be able to access websites regardless of how elaborate they are. You’ll be able to take part in the incredibly detailed virtual reality worlds of online video games! You’ll even be able to download full length movies to your computer!

In addition to providing all of this access to online options, Comcast can also help to keep you safe from online threats. For example, when you sign up you’ll have the option of getting a firewall to protect your computers from hostile software including spyware and malware. You’ll also have access to McAfee VirusScan software as an extra layer of protection.

Then there’s always the high quality cable TV that Comcast is known for. When you subscribe to Comcast, you get an enormous selection of channels and several different options of programming packages. For example, it’s possible to get over two hundred and seventy five channels including HDTV channels, sports, and all of the great channels you’ve come to love over the years. To make for an even better TV experience, all of the channels are in digital TV format so that you’ll get the best picture quality possible.

Comcast is the service that can provide you with the best in cable TV, along with so much more.
