Little help here guys, need some opinions

[Mecca]

I feel like I'm getting hosed on my tv/internet bills. Since I have Direct TV I don't have them bundled and I feel the rate I pay for both is ridiculous. I'm over 200 a month combined while my parents have Time Warner cable and pay 140. However I live in a Comcast area now and keep being told by everyone how awful it is..

But the fact that I could go to comcast and get more for about 50 bucks less a month seems appealing to me.

What do you guys have to say on the issue?

i feel like this is crazy backwards day.

Well he could have met a girl on Plenty of Fish who has four kids and they survive on food stamps and child support payments. Let's not give him the benefit of the doubt just yet.

DirecTV is overpriced no doubt. I only have them b/c I have to watch the Chiefs.

Last year I called to tell them I was cancelling because I wanted to switch to dish since they have the "hopper" that records 5 things at once AND because I only wanted the Redzone channel and they didn't offer a package like that. They gave me NFL Sunday Ticket ($330 value) for free, upgraded my receiver to the one that records 5 things at once, and gave me a $20 bill credit for 6 months.

I imagine since it sounds like you don't have Sunday Ticket, that you might be able to get some nice savings. Call them and tell them "I can save $70 a month by switching to Comcast." They'll do whatever they can to accommodate you. You will get locked into another 2 year deal, but it can't hurt to try.
