Re: cablemodem time

Yes, but most cable companies only charge a $5 fee or so, they dont make you pay the same price for having both services, and then the fee on top of that.

Comcast is charging $15 for not having TV service. In my area anyway.

Edit: Mactron beat me to the punch.

2nd Edit: Sorry, the way Comcast puts it, you don't get a $15 price reduction on HSI if you don't have TV service.

Adelphia re-did there pricing for there cable modem last year, no matter if you had cable or not it was 44.95 or so for there regular package. Now since RR has moved into the area, I just saw a new price sheet and they to do not penalize you if you do not have cable TV. $44.95 it is.

Haha...

So you pay $15/m to save paying $10/m ?

Lots of savings there.

That means instead of paying 15 dollars for TV service, he is paying 5 dollars.

Then again I don't have either since I have DSL and DirecTV.

Then again it is a good hook and somewhat silly if you did not pay the $5 for the benefit of not having an antenna on your TV.

yeah, cox has also removed the discount you used to get for having another service as well.

But if you just pay the $10, you get the broadcast basic anyway(dirty little secret there). just hook up a T.V. and you'll see. no need to pay for it.

Well we still get bundling discounts for more than one service, however those who have no cable television at all can get internet for 44.95, same peice for those who have only basic cable. You start to get the bundling discounts if you have digital cable.

Not always true. It depends on if the tech puts the filter back on the line. And remember its still stealing because you're not paying for that service from the Cable Co. And if they catch you it could mean loss of everything.

Stop lying. and stop trying to churn old crap. The price for HSI from Comcast is $57.95.. get it? there is a bundle discount. Stop spewing garbage to make it sound worse and in your favor for this argument.

I really don't give a crap what the walking wounded socialists on this site think about this. Bending what-is to make it sound better in your own favor is really old.

You say it as you are owed anything in the first place. And the way you see it, you're being screwed. You're also spending more and getting more.

You certainly have options... once included not having the service. There is no guarantee in life that you are entitled to have tv or internet.

Over paying? I guess since I can afford it, and live in reality, I am doing fine. If you want a reality check, I urge you to read Rick's post below. Maybe that will help people like you into reality once again.

Maybe you can start, too, by explaining where anyone is "over paying" for anything. I'll give you a hint, who are you to dictate what the price will be?

Considering that I used to pay $20 for a dial tone, $22.00 for dial up for 56k and for one computer only, I personally see that even the $79.00 I paid in 1998 was a bargain. So, when I hear about people bitching about paying $39.99 a month for 8mb broadband service, I have to take a quick laugh and then throw it in their general direction at how utterly ridiculous they are over the whole thing.

Mactron, as we say in Usenet, don't feed the trolls. fiberguy is either rich, or is pretending to be, and is going out of his way to put down the rest of us. My intuition says he doesn't even believe the crap he's spewing, he just loves to get a good flame war going (sort of the equivalent of the guy who starts a bar fight by throwing the first punch, then ducking and running).

Other possibilities are that he really is rich and obnoxious (in which case his karma will catch up with him sooner or later) or he is a shill for the phone companies, perhaps working for one of their public relations firms or astroturf groups. In any case, he's definitely in the minority on this board, which probably explains why he feels the need to put his views across in such an aggravating manner.

There are guys in the world who feel the need to flaunt their wealth, and then there are a lot more guys who just like to give the appearance of being wealthy when they are really in hock up to their eyeballs. Neither is a path to making them likable individuals.

Simply put, if the Phone company can offer $19.95 a month DSL then they can provide $19.95 a month NAKED DSL.

If the Cable company offers $25.99 a month Internet then they can offer $25.99 a month NAKED Internet.

They can... BUT THEY WON'T. Penalty pricing, End of Story.
