Recently, I received an advertisement from ComCast about its fast internet service with total of $19.99 per month for fast DSL around 6mbs or more. This deal sounds great in comparison to AT&T. Because I am paying double that price for AT&T fast DSL too. After I consulted with a good friend of mine, he reminded me to that deal only valid for 6 months after sign - up. After 6 months, you have to pay around $45.00 per month. So, $19.99 per month only for promotion period only, after all, not much different from its competitors. Well, some advertising really misleading, there were small text you barely be able to see on the very bottom of that ad. A lesson learn.

Legally spoken, there's not much misleading about it, it happens here all the time and judges give their fiat to this because it is the responsibility for the costumer to be aware of the deal, whether it contains small letters or not.
45 dollars for 6 mb is a huge rip-off. I pay the same for 30 mbps.
