When I was looking at switching I talked to several people at Comcast, as well as the number you call to activate with comcastoffers.com. I was always told something different every time I called. If you don't like what one representative is saying simply call back and you will get someone saying something else. It would be nice if they were all on the same page, or possibly it is fine the way it is. I do have the 8Mbs rate and verified it when they came to enable the service and I don't have cable.
You shouldn't have any problems. That was what I was going to do. You don't really order the service until you call them to set up an install time (if you don't have cable they have to send someone out to make sure everything is set correctly with their equipment). Since I went directly through Comcast to order the service I ended up saving around $50 for the service fee since they were having a special, but I didn't quite get as good as a deal on the first few months of service. I did, however, get exactly what I wanted. From what I can tell it doesn't matter who you call to activate the service in order to get the rebates, I will know for sure once my rebates are here, but I have received confirmation that they were sending them out.
