Comcast = $250 a month? Sick of it!

[MadJack]

I get the whole package. TV, internet and phone. They call it TRIPLE PLAY

I called and asked how much for CABLE INTERNET ONLY.

Well, I had to answer a shitpile of questions until I got my answer. The answer, by the way, is $64.00 a month.

I don't NEED a land line and I was thinking about, and still am, getting back with DirecTV.

Make a long story short, I am getting the same exact thing I have been getting for the last umpteen years for $140 a month instead of $250.

WTF?

Well, you wanted Obama. Time to live with the courage of your convictions.

I pay directv 125/month and have no premium channels and 2 hddvr's, I must be getting screwed :shrug:

85/month for internet and home phone from comcast here :shrug:

 

[The Boys]

I steal my Comcast from my neighbor. It's so much cheaper that way.

i`m saving $100 a monyh with verizon fios....and it`s a guaranteed price for a period of time...they give you one dvr and it works with every box...and this epix channel has some excellent new movies...

comcast was nickel and diming me every month..$5 here...$3 there...$7 over there....

Have directv with HBO and a sportspack and think we pay around 120/mos. Have internet and landline through another company and pay 50$/mos. So I guess I'm at 170$.

I'm fine at $140 and in 12 months it goes up $20.

Still thinking about my option of Comcast internet at $65 and DirecTV. The ULTIMATE package is 72.99 with 4 TV's and free NFL Sunday Ticket.

and you are waiting on what..

probably just a 2 year contract..what they gave me w/the genie and nfl pack thrown in.

you will save 25.00 a week just watching Ravens in the comfy confines of your plush home.

and never ever have to get a DD to escort ya to and from the wing joint if ya happen to enjoy one to many to get behind the wheel..

DIRECTV...it life ..and it's "Livin' Large"

I'm leaning that way for sure. I like my weekly visit to the wing joint though.

Yeah, they throw in the Genie too, just not the genie babe.

Made the switch from Time Warner Cable to DirecTv. I wasn't even dissatisfied with TWC but the DTV blows it away. And when there is an issue their customer service has been great.

Was it a better package or savings?

No. At the end of the year, you tell them, "either the price stays the same for another year, or I'm gone", and they'll say, "Glad to have you for another year, sir!"


Rinse. Repeat.
