Also people are posting comparisons that make no sense. Yeah, you can get a cell for $40/month, but what would you pay for an unlimited cell plan? And where in this country can you get every premium channel for $100/month on cable??
While I understand BBR is not really a "news" site, it would be nice if instead of just linking to the PR the author would contact Surewest and clarify whether caps exist on this service. |

If they had caps on the older plans, I think it's a fairly safe bet they'll do the same for this one.
To me, it's not really clear if they even had caps on the older plans. I did a little search through old posts and found people saying they did, and people saying they didn't. Ex: »Re: Surewest Caps. Maybe they enforce caps in some areas and not in others? |

True, their press release didn't mention the caps. We're all making an assumption based on their current caps users are reporting on their other uber-services. However, these kinds of press releases are normally fuzzy and warm and won't mention the terms & disclaimers.
As for the fully-loaded TV packages I thought I'd do some quick shopping around the country to see if I live in some kind of unique area. Wasn't that hard to find. These are some sample of non-promotional rates for the premium levels of services...
Time Warner Cable - Digipic 4000 - $99.95
»www.timewarnercable.com/sananton···kgs.html
Comcast - Digital Platinum - $103.25
(Used a random address in Philadelphia)
Charter - Biggest - $79.94
(Used a random address in Kalamazoo, MI)
DirecTV - Total Choice Premier - $99.95

Dish Network - Everything Pack - $84.99

The 10/10 mbit service has a 40 Gig cap, but I myself have crossed it and never heard a complaint from SureWest
The 20/20 mbit has NO CAP.
EDIT: I just found out that the link goes to my own post saying there is a cap. They have changed it since then, the 20 mbit doesnt have a cap anymore, and I doubt the 50/50 would. |

Here on Time Warner, Digital Cable is $55.95, it's $12.95 for the first Premium movie package, $7.95 for each additional one, $3 for the Encore Pack, $7.95 for a box rental. That's $103.70. Total of 44 premium movie channels (only 4 of those are west feeds), plus the Premiums On Demand. Add franchise fee and that's about $108, cable TV and internet services are not taxed in NY state. |
