| Not a rare price reduction
There's nothing rare about this deal. There isn't even much good about this deal.
It is a short term promotional offer lasting 12 months and expiring at the end of the month. It does not include the price of standard analog either, so you can tack $46.60 on to the monthly rate. As well, there is no decrease in regular rates (which means you can lose the promotional rate if you have a late payment disconnect).
(If you go to the online site, Payson actually gets a better deal currently since they get digital cable for $24.95 and HSI for $19.95 bundled.)

If you're having issues paying your bills, then this is probably too much for one anyway. I should have thrown a "for example" in there. Since the rate is promotional, you would also lose it for an address change, responsible parties change, equipment change, etc.
late payment soft disco (not nonpay disco) is probably the most common way of losing it though.
Plenty of people pay late who can afford the bill.

| that's a big one with me. They are constantly calling me saying..."you didn't pay your bill". then I have to whip out he bank statement and tell them the check number and date when they took money out of my account. Happens almost every month without fail. If you live in Alexandria, VA, then be careful of this. |
