Re: They just raised the price too... What a deal! We'll offer you a higher price then we used to offer, but we won't hit you with an ETF if you leave.
Wow. What a deal, I says! |

Sterling Heights, MI | Do cable companies have contracts? I thought those were limited to the sat-cos |

| said by baineschile:Do cable companies have contracts? I thought those were limited to the sat-cos Yes. To get a good price with Time Warner you have to bundle cable and internet and agree to a 15 month price lock with an ETF that is charged if you cancel service or move to an area that lacks service. |

Not here in SoCal.
No contract $89/month for the 'all the Best' package for 12 months.
Lets see: DSL-Extreme (AT&T lines)
1500/384Kbps 12 Month DHCP - 5 IP(s) FREE $17.95/mo
1500/384Kbps Month to Month DHCP - 5 IP(s) FREE $22.95/mo
3000/512Kbps 12 Month DHCP - 5 IP(s) FREE $19.95/mo
3000/512Kbps Month to Month DHCP - 5 IP(s) FREE $27.95/mo
Vs. AT&T:
$30 for 1500/384kbps
$40 for 3008/512kbps
Of course, AT&T's plans don't require POTS... but they're basically charging you for it anyways.

that depends on your area and what TWC you deal with. TWC-MidOhio does NOT charge an ETF. |

Cable =/= "TV".
That said, no cable company has a contract that I know of. Time Warner has NO contract for their internet, at least not out here in California. Same goes for Cox. |

With Insight Columbus you pay at least $8 more for RR if you don't have at least Classic tier cable (used to be $10 more, they gave a $10 bundle discount which has recently dropped to $8, so RR effectively went up $2). That's $47 plus cable costs for 7/512 or $35 + POTS costs (about $20 here) for 6/768 DSL. At my location, both are stable and I haven't run into any throttling so far. |
