Re: for $99.00, it's a deal said by karlmarx:But usually only for 3-6 months. Afterwards, that 'savings' evaporates to a $250.00 a month bill. That means in a full year, you'll be paying comcast over $3,000.00. That's an awful lot of money for 150 channels of crap, capped internet, and dodgy voip service. I'd pass... Not sure where you do your math but i pay 170 a month for all 3 now and for doggy VOIP you must be talking about Vonage because my CDV works so much better.have you had CDV? i bet not. |

He was probably factoring in the next price hike to take place between the time he hit the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button and the time the post was actually visible to other forum members |

I pay Echostar $43 a month, Comcast $58 and Vonage $31, for a total of $132. Each one of these providers needs to earn my money each and every month, or I'll switch. Why would I want lock myself into a single provider for all 3 and pay more? |

| My Comcast Triple Play is $146.00 + PPV - Thats the Digi 2000 package (Standard + Two Premiums (I picked SHO and HBO since that adds 3 additonal HDTV channels)), HSI (6/384), Digital Phone (Seperate bandwidth from HSI). That includes the SA 8300HD HDTV Box and HDTV Premium Tier. As Memphis just recently switched from Time Warner to Comcast there has been some channel changeups in the HDTV Premium Tier but so far Im happy with the service and one bill to pay.

yeah, the cable voip's tend to work better, in my opinion. You never see me post about outages, just TWC in general, occasionally. I kinda like the VoIP w/the matching internet service.  |

| I agree - separate VOIP is still a techie market. While I haven't had any problems with my provider in 18 months, my troubleshooting skills are probably better than your average subscriber.
If I were a cable company or even the local carriers, my marketing strategy would be "It just works, and when it doesn't, we'll figure it out." |

1 edit | YES, I think the techies actually enjoy the challenge of trying to figure out what is wrong when the service goes down. Too much drama for me. I would wind up going back to POTS or using my cell phone exclusively if I ran into service issues w/indy VoIP's or Digital Phone.
Good marketing strategy, though, Verizon would have a fit. They would now sue for using their marketing strategies - there're always on commercials - I think they are hillarious.  |
