OT: Sex, Lies and Cable Internet

[Ricechex]

Alright, so this does not have anything to do about SEX. Sorry guys. I thought it a nice attention getting thread! Heh, just another narcissistic poster!

However, some of you may not be aware that Cox Cable has a bit of a scam going on….

I had Cox Cable at $41.95 a month. The bill states:
HIGH SPEED INTERNET. It came to my attention that “high speed internet” can be obtained for $16.99–the speed difference is not noticeable. You only need the $41.95 service if you are a serious gamer. Downloads operate efficiently too.

Here’s the deal: Cox Cable won’t tell you about this. You gotta call ’em and tell them you want the cheapest service.

Rustico…this is up your alley–or did you already know about this?

Saving $25 a month will pay for a gallon of gas…

Thanks Ricechex,
I live so far from humanity that we don’t have cable! I have a satellite connection.

Um…It’s not just cox cable, you can negotiate with your phone company over DSL.

In purchasing DSL, I raised my concern that one reason why I wanted to go with cable modem was that cable modem is like $20/month on top of cable for me, while as if I were to get DSL, i would need to get a phoneline too, which while DSL would cost $17, just keeping a phone line on is roughly $12/month (just local service with limited local dialing)

I got my DSL for $17/month, and ATT gives me a $12 credit/month on my phone line. Supposedly it’s good for only a year, except at the end of the year, I always call and tell them to extend the offer or I’m going to cancel both my phone line and my dsl service. Never had an issue getting the terms extended. Though I mostly use my cell for phone, it’s nice having a landline that you’re not paying for.
