How much are you guys paying for yours if you have triple packages? It looks like services need to be downgraded or removed (still want land lines and TWC's TV [OTA doesn't do well in this mountain rural area here]. Thank you in advance.

It would have been nice if buying our own cable modems had phone support. Why need another one to hook it connect that takes up space, use more power, and make more heat? It makes more sense if no digital phone services. Yeah, might drop HBO/Cinemax since movies are rarely watched these days.

How much are you guys paying for yours if you have triple packages? It looks like services need to be downgraded or removed (still want land lines and TV [OTA doesn't do well in this mountain rural area here]. Is there a list somewhere to see the regular prices for the downgraded services? Thank you in advance. Call and ask about lowering your bill. The first rep may say "no." Than just say, "I don't understand the increases" or something to that effect. You will than be taken to Customer Retentions. (You can't just go to Customer Retentions.) Ask what kind of discounts they could offer. Not into movies, you can drop the HBO/Cinemax, but should still negotiate to get the other costs down. Be nice to the reps, and you can get some good deals. Very important-When you call for a deal, you can ONLY do this about once a year. Expect this to be for the long haul. If you call too much to get your bill lowered, they will stop offering you discounts. You will need to renegotiate after a year to get your costs down again. Satch

Happydude32 Premium Member join:2005-07-16	Happydude32 to antdude Premium Member 2014-May-5 5:01 pm to antdude I pay $230 for Signature Home Premium View which is an approx $130 savings if I had Digital Cable with HBO, Cinemax, Showtime/TMC, Movie Pass, Two Whole House DVRs, Digital Phone and Ultimate Internet a la carte. Plus I pay no modem lease fee, no broadcast TV fee and no fee for 'the guide'.

Racerbob Premium Member join:2001-06-24 Webster, NY ·Greenlight Netwo.. ·Frontier FiberOp..	Racerbob to antdude Premium Member 2014-May-5 5:21 pm to antdude It makes sense to not give TW $6 a month for a modem rental. Modems do not create a lot of heat, nor do they use a lot of power. It would be quite easy for you to use a splitter to use two modems. At $6 a month, you would have a new modem paid for in a year or so.

ke4pym Premium Member join:2004-07-24 Charlotte, NC	ke4pym to antdude Premium Member 2014-May-5 7:11 pm to antdude Not quite what you're looking for. Currently, I'm paying Ooma $7.50 a month. TWC 50/5 for $69/mo and I pay DirecTV $124/mo for every single channel they have plus 7 receivers. Ooma is a normal rate and DirecTV/TWC have that rate for 12 months.

Racerbob Premium Member join:2001-06-24 Webster, NY	Racerbob to Satch Premium Member 2014-May-5 8:20 pm to Satch But once you add the new modem, the modem that is dedicated to the phone service has no monthly charge. Correct me if I am wrong.

But you don't pay for the TWC supplied modem if you are only using it for phone.
