said by digiblur:said by Wide:I guess it is economy. However, $20 for less than 1 mb/s download + $50 for expanded cable is a bum deal. Are there any better deals in zipcode 70810? I have seen fiberedge TV and internet for $50/month in Gonzales area.
Not that I know of. $20 is a steal for those speeds. I remember many years ago paying $20 for a 56k connection.
I do agree on the cable being too high, I signed up more than a year ago when DishNetwork had their HD only package special running. $43 a month after taxes for a ton of HD channels (including Cinemax) with their DVR, plus I had $100 rebate and a $50 off two bills, free equipment and installation, and 3 months free of all the HBO/Starz HD channels. It was a deal I couldn't pass up and Cox couldn't match it.
And should hard times hit you and you decide to kick DISH to the curb, theres a nice fat ETF waiting for you!
