BOB47 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Just curious what everyone has to shell out for cable tv and internet access. Just got my bill from Comcast yesterday for $192.55 for both. Seems they raised the prices LAST month and FORGOT to bill me at the new higher rate. So I get nailed for this months' higher rate and half a month of last months' higher rate. I was paying $96.82 per month for tv and internet including all taxes and surcharges. Now they want $145.00 per month for the same thing. Needless to say they are both being changed over to Wide Open West this saturday. $118.00 for the same service. Still way too much!

VHO_Tek Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Well what kind of tv service do you have? Have HBO, SHO, HD, a DVR? Around here your looking at about $45 for basic cable and anywhere from $30-45 for internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwarren Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I get Direct TV for $52 (after taxes, etc) and Internet for $30. Sounds kind of steep on your end unless you get a lot of the extras. Rent any PPV Porns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll come on for free eventually. On a side note--talked with my neighbor yesterday about this. His bill was nearly $600.00. Turns out his 16 year old daughter IS renting porn. She says she didn't realize you had to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHO_Tek Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 "TV is digital cable with HBO and Starz with a DVR. Internet is 4mbs cable." Well local that tv service would be $73.04 plus tax so add $30 to $40 for internet and the $96 wasn't bad, but that $145 is unreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krambo Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I get Direct TV for $52 (after taxes, etc) and Internet for $30. Sounds kind of steep on your end unless you get a lot of the extras. Rent any PPV Porns I got direct TV as well and pay 54 (final cost). IMO Direct TV is the only way to go. I got internet through Net Zero (dial up high speed) for like $15 month final cost. I want DSL however there is only one company that offers it in my area and they run a monopoly and charge through the nose. I will wait for some competition for them.

misterp Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 ...Just got my bill from Comcast yesterday for $192.55 for both. That's because Comcast are a bunch of thieving bastards; I had their service when I lived in Glen Rose and they are the most expensive untility I have ever paid bar none and I've lived in many places during the last 10 years. What is so bad about Comcast is their impromptu billing policy/rate hikes, surprise we raised our rates. And for the top dollar you pay the digital cable and internet products they provide are just terrible. Cable internet is just a broadband technology, so the more people on their network (peak hours) the slower it crawls; for the same price as what they are charging you I get 5mb DSL service and it never slows down during peak hours. Point is, change dude, and don't look back 'cause you're being rooked. Mr. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
