Nope, maybe, and nope. Doing a speedtest on T-Mobile right now on a Galaxy S7 (4 year old phone), 216Mbps down / 30.0Mbps up. Comcast is 28.9 Mbps down / 11.2 Mbps up. I'll talk about price below. And Comcast is NO way in Hades more reliable than cellular. I'm seeing 20-300 hrs/month of outages with them. It's been this way for years with them.

Your Comcast bill for Internet only should be ~$50 per month or less for basic service.
Depends where you're located and how much, if any, competition there is. Even in this area, the lowest Comcast internet-only package goes from $45-70. In many areas they have no competition, or perhaps a crusty 1.5Mbps DSL connection from the telco.
