That is what happened to me. I've been threatening to leave, so they cut a deal. But know after three years they have been incrementally taking the price up

For me a Comcrap bundle would be close to $100/month, while new users get to skate in for less than half that, if memory serves, for 12 months, and then the price goes up to about $80/month. Great way to make those long-time users feel needed, Comcrap...

I'm always rushing. Sorry about that. Thanks Daryle. What are you doing about Internet and phone. I have a bundle, but I have been told to avoid them. Doesn't that cost even more?

Hated it, but they were the Empire where I lived and there was nothing I could do. When I moved 5 years ago, I had Time Warner Cable for around 4. Constant problems. Poor customer service. Cost too much for the channels I cared about. Then there wqas that whole "we may/may not have Viacom Channels" thing. I took off. For the past year or so, I've had DirectTV, and my only problem is a tree in my neighbor's yard that grows leaves in Spring and summer that DIRECTLY blocks HD signal at times. They gave me a credit for the months that the leaves grow. You read right. I pay LESS for service in Spring and Summer because of a TREE. the packages are expensive, but depending on your interest, they are worth it. plus, they are ALWAYS running some kind of promotion where you get free channels.

Can you guys make any recommendations. Also if I do not take a package, won't it cost more? Thanks _____ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection.
