This is really nothing special. That is, you can easily set up virtually any VOIP provider, Vonage included, so that your current home phone jacks all work over the service. There are several Wiki/How-To sites that detail this. It is quite simple. I suppose all that Comcast does is this same sort of thing when they perform the install. Still, it is a nice selling point for them, I suppose.

You get 6mbps plus so-called "power boost" up to 12mbps with Comcast. Slowness is definitely not one of the negatives of choosing Comcast.

You get 6mbps with the $99. deal? That's pretty sweet.

No argument there. If you can't renegotiate the promo rate at the end of the term, you're going to pay through the nose.

You were definitely right to point out that the cable companies like to rental charge/fee you to death if you aren't careful. The promo is great, afterwards, I'd almost certainly not want all three services from the cable company. YMMV.
