Re: [IA] Internet only gets penalized for not having TV service?
said by burner50  :Not really, because there is an EXTRA charge on the bill... Last i knew there was. I'll have to see when I get my first bill in the mail... I agree, if it shows up as an EXTRA fee then it is a PENALTY NOT a lack of reward. And it F-ing sucks. |

There has to be some cost/expense advantages for MediaCom to have customers with multiple services. (one bill to mail out, only one house to service, etc...) I would also guess that a customer with multiple products is more likely to stick around longer the a customer with a single product. Since TV is MediaCom's primary business, it would makes sense to give the discount to the secondary service. It is the same reason why the 2nd phone on a cell phone plan is only a fraction of the cost of the first phone. |

| The extra item on the bill is "HSD BASIC" and it's a $15 fee. Some people may describe it as a penalty, others as a discount for having another service. Either way you get better rates with bundling.
It does not matter what they describe it.
Example - phone service only is $49.99, with one more service it's $39.99 and with two more services it's $29.99. They don't add additional fees they simply state the price on your bill.
I guess they should do this for HSD to so people would not complain? |
