[CATV] Charter's new pricing questionsCan we opted out of the wire maintenance fee? And what is the new price? Does the Gold pkg include HD? Do they charge a fee for HD box or is it included in Gold pricing? Does Gold include Select and Silver? Can we block phone numbers? |

Hd is now standard almost anywhere. Gold includes all of select and silver. They have a feature called Selective Call Acceptance. This limits incoming calls to up to 12 designated numbers and auto-routes all other incoming calls to a polite message stating that calls are not being accepted at this time. They also have Anonymous Call Rejection. This enables you to reject calls from anyone whose Caller ID information is blocked. The caller will automatically receive a message that you are not accepting Caller IDblocked calls, and will be advised to unblock his or her number and try the call again. You can also do this. Call Forward Selective This feature enables you to forward incoming calls from up to 12 selected phone numbers to the location of your choice. |

There is no extra charge for HD. You can decline wire maintenance. I don't think the cost has changed much, if any, this year. |

Wire maintenance is free with a triple play package. |

You pay for the HD box rental on all packages. But it's the same cost as the SD box. |

Other providers have HD fees in addition to box rental fees. With satellite it's $10 for HD plus $6 or $7 for a box plus another $15 or so for DVR service. DirecTV recently combined HD and DVR service into a single $25 "advanced receiver" fee. A major reason I have Charter because they have no HD fee, and I can provide my own cable card box, hence no box rental fees either. |

Hmm... you can't download the rate card? In my market, Select, Silver and Gold are $60, $80 and $100. It's interesting that your discount rate for Select is more than the standard rate. |

Calling in and asking might answer all your questions. |
