Tap your neighbors line when hes not home. Get it free
Can anyone tell me about modern TV antennae usage. In a huge metro area, we have several dozens of free stations. Is the anyone from the Chicago area able to comment about their service.
Am going from Comcast to AT&T Uverse. That price should get DVR included and faster internet. So it looks like this will work out for us.
Netflix...no commercials, watch what you want and don't support the enemy.
What other providers are available in your market?
” I don’t need the landline service.”
Keep in mind that a landline puts you directly on the 911 system for fire/rescue/police emergency response. I consider it a small expense for valuable insurance. Think about a loved one being in need of emergency medical care and weigh that against the importance of online video gaming.
I live in central NY State and have Time Warner for my Road Runner, TV, and digital phone service. I get a large number of channels, which includes On Demand, Look Back, etc. I don’t subscribe to any of the premium networks, or Encore channels. I also have an HD DVR with them. I got a special deal from them about a year ago, and my monthly bill for everything has been $160. Previously, it was around $219. About a week ago, I got a notice from Time Warner that although my special deal would be expiring soon, they were offering me an extension of that rate because I was a valued customer. Good luck with your quest.
If you get HSN then it’s priceless anyway.../s
I am on DSL right now. That is the only reason I have a landline. Is there a wireless device that can run a router for my PCs so I can drop the landline? Failing that is there a good directional antenna I can use to tap surrounding routers?
Clark Howard says the cheapest cellphone service is where you buy your own minutes and where they don't age it (forcing you to buy more minutes).
For $32/month (inclusive) Comcast gives me (through my neighborhood HOA):
a) basic digital cable with about 80 channe
For $75/month (inclusive) CenturyLink gives me:
b) landline with unlimited long distance, voicemail & all special features
c) wireless high speed internet 10 Mbps
We don’t game, but we can stream HD video to our TV and have 4 people surfing and youtubing at the same time.
I pay $150 for all three plus Tivo, but it’ll jump to about $170 next year. I don’t have it but, DirecTV is really pushing for new subscribers. I would go there first and demand the NFL season ticket for free.
I’ve got Brighthouse (formerly TimeWarner)
internet, cable tv+DVR, and landline phone
126/mo
They raised it to 148 and I called and told them I’d switch to U-verse if they didn’t back off. Not much pushback.
It really helps if you have an alternate provider available to threaten them with.
I have my county co-op providing my basic digital cable and hi-speed internet for $124 per month. I don’t get premium channels like HBO or Cinemax, just the basic tier cable with NFL, Discovery, SyFy, ESPN, etc. I dropped my land line three years ago to save money.
Oh, a DVR is included in my cable package.
I have U-verse bundled and it is 161. The internet is DSL unlimited and 200 or so cable channels. They added FBN within the past few months.
I have U-Verse @ $185 a month.
300 plan for TV plus sports package, Wireless, box to record (view recordings from 3 TV’S) record 4 HD shows at the same time), for 3 TV’S,includes VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), Internet @10 MPM and is very stable.
It is the source of much entertainment.
I am 77 years old.
No matter who you have......do this....
Call to cancel.
They will ask you why (always do)
Tell them that you are going to another company that charges less(have the numbers in front of you) or that you can’t afford it.
They want to keep your business and will give you a better deal.
WORKS EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!!!
Comcast has a call center desk that is their “retention specialist”. Ask for that person. They can get you down to $79.99 monthly for their “Triple Play” if you commit to two years. You may have to talk about things like Amazon Prime and Netfilx via streaming video to get them to geek, but they will. That will save you $2,400 over the two years. Or you can “cut the cable” (google the phrase) and save even more.
