evan9381 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 does this seem high to anyone or is it just me? i don't pay the cable bill at my house, so i never look at it, but happened to see it sitting out today and my jaw about hit the floor included - WOW standard bundle - $79.99 Monthly Guide (is this the shit that comes in the mail or the guide on the cable box?) - 2.70 HD Pak - 7.99 Additional Digital Receiver - $6.99 HD DVR Receiver - 11.99 Showtime - $15.00 Cable Modem lease fee - $4.99 Taxes/Fees - 6.30 so in a nutshell, we have "full basic" cable, HD DVR receiver for the bigscreen tv, a digital receiver in the bedroom, showtime, and internet, and its $135.95/mo. does this seem really high to anyone else?

V8 Beast Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Solution: Get out the house more while only keeping internet for video games and porn. After getting out of the house more you will have a rippling 6 pack like Sam. Once this is achieved you can cancel all internet because the games you play will be with hot young woman that double as real life porn.

Just use the internet / guide on the box. There, saved you $10/month. FYI, Time Warner is more expensive. I'm sadly stuck with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotCarl Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 My Uverse bill is somewhere around 95$ a month for One DVR box, one standard box for my bedroom, and "medium speed" internet connection. no HD channels or pay channels. After I called and complained a few times about my service and the shoddy installation they gave me $20 off a month for the next 6 months so now my bill is around $75-80 depending if i buy any movies or not. BTW, Uverse may indeed be cheaper for some service's but the service/installation and some customer service sucks. I would go back to time warner but that pause between changing channels drives me crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sadly stuck with them. g/f said she called and the guide is on the tv...hm. makes me wonder if she even called. what channels are on the "HD pak"? i thought thats what i had to get to get all the HD channels (all the 200-299 channels) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I have Wow. The monthly guide is what comes in the mail, I cancelled mine after I was charged for it the first month. The guide on the TV works fine. I have no idea what the "HD Pak" is. I guessing that is for the 3 HD channels I don't get, but don't care about. Here is my bill: Wow Bundle...............$85.99 HDTV Receiver............$6.99 Additional Digital Rec....$6.99 Cable Modem Lease......$4.99 I know my bill just went up with Wow because I am out of that first 2 years deal with them. Which reminds me I need to call them to get it lowered. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I'm tired of paying $120 a month for shitty internet service and an HD DVR. I'm about to drop down to basic cable, no box, and the cheapest internets they have. I'll use newsgroups to download whatever show I want to watch and stream it to my XBOX.

It's cheaper because YOU HAVE BASIC CABLE. How is that getting screwed...you don't have nearly the services. Actually, you are getting screwed if you are only getting 50 basic channels, lol.
