New Offering Provides Chamber of Commerce Members Free Month of Comcast
Service

BERLIN, Conn., March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast, the nation's leading provider
of entertainment, information and communications, today launched a new program
designed to provide Chambers of Commerce and their members throughout
Connecticut the opportunity to save money and bring the latest technology
inside their businesses.

Beginning today, the newly created Comcast Chamber Rewards Program provides
small and medium-sized businesses that belong to a local Chamber of Commerce a
free month of service* when they sign up for Comcast Business Class video,
voice or high-speed Internet service.  Additionally, the referring Chamber of
Commerce will receive a free month of service for each member that signs up
for Comcast Business Class through the new program.**

"In this economy, Comcast Business Class products are a smart investment that
yield a great return," said Jeff Freyer, Vice President of Business Services
for the Western New England Region, which includes Connecticut.  "We're
pleased to be offering this new program that is really a win-win for local
Chambers and their members."

Comcast's Business Class services are designed to help small and medium-sized
businesses work faster and more efficiently by providing them access to a full
array of communications technologies, many of which have been previously
reserved only for large businesses.  Comcast's Business Class line of services
offers customers dedicated support and individual attention, 24x7, plus the
convenience of one bill.  Business Class customers can access a variety of
packages and offerings that can be tailored to meet the demands of their
business:

Comcast Business Class Voice offers a viable alternative to the traditional
phone company that includes unlimited local and long-distance calling and all
the voice features companies need to be successful as their businesses grow. 
Popular features offered include Auto Attendant, Call Forwarding, Call
Waiting, Call Transfer, Caller ID, Business Directory Listing, Online access
to voicemail and more.  Plus, businesses can switch to Comcast without
changing their current phone numbers.

Comcast Business Class Internet offers businesses a feature-rich, reliable and
secure Internet solution that is faster than the DSL offered by the phone
companies.  With download speeds of up to 16 Mbps, Comcast Business Class
Internet gives entrepreneurs the technology they need to grow their
businesses. Comcast customers can access information and multimedia content
more than five times faster than DSL users (3 Mbps) and at rates vastly
superior to those using T1 lines (1.5 Mbps) or ISDN service (128 Kbps). 
Additionally, customers receive comprehensive features designed specifically
for business, including Microsoft Communication Services, McAfee Security, IP
gateway, Static IP address, business-class e-mail and web hosting.

Comcast Business Class TV provides reliable and cost-effective video content
solutions to satisfy a variety of business needs at office locations, from
conference rooms and break rooms to waiting rooms and lobbies.  

Interested Connecticut business owners that are members of a local Chamber of
Commerce and run a small or medium-sized business in Comcast's service areas
can sign up now through their local Chamber, or contact Charlie Tzoumas at
(860) 883-2071 or Charlie_Tzoumas@cable.comcast.com.
