Re: 3rd very soon

A friend of mine signed up for the Comcast Triple Play; $33 a month each for TV, Internet, and Phone. Internet was a slam dunk; he was too far from the CO for reliable DSL, and only at 384kbps/384kbps at that. But the Triple Play bundle doesn't include the Franchise taxes on TV, or the PUC taxes on telephone, so his total bill is closer to $120 a month, after adding taxes; and will go up when the promotion period ends and the service prices revert to their full retail.

The landlady is paying for AT&T POTS, AT&T DSL, and DirecTV; at about $99 per month. I think she is also paying about $25 per month for long distance service. The price appears to be a wash between the two bills. At least until the Comcast promotion is over, and the prices go up.

Re: 3rd very soon

Cable prices always do not go up. You can either lock your price in or by rebundling again. You just have to know who to talk to and what to ask for. I get TWC Digital Phone for $25 per month; RR Turbo for $35, and $30 for expanded basic cable. ATT can't beat that no matter what they do. Even in the year it expires i'll just call them back and sign it back up at the same price. Or add Digi Pic 1000 Digital Cable with it for roughly the same price.

I am talking about Comcast introductory offers. Comcast, not Road Runner. We don't have Road Runner where I live.

Re: 3rd very soon

You can do the same thing with Comcast. They have a Retention Department. Also just because you don't have RR doesnt mean you have to have TWC. RR is just the ISP; not the cable operator.
