Lifetime price points for broadband not what they seem

I just got my digital TV converter box. I’m planning on dumping Comcast, and this is the first step. The next is either DSL or Clearwire or something–anything–but the “traffic shaping” cable giant’s offers. In shopping around, I’ve noticed that many broadband sellers (Comcast included) are offering a special price and, if you sign up for a two-year contract, the ability to lock that price in for life.

Sounds good, right? $29.99 for broadband, from now till you switch carriers, even if their prices go up. The thing is, it’s not a great deal.
