i think you need to tell them you found a better offer and see what they can give you. my motto is pay full price **** that shit.

I switched to U verse about 3 years ago when they came around. The day they came out and installed, I called Time Warner and when their rep asked "what can I do for you today" I told him "YOU'RE FIRED" and "THAT I NO LONGER REQUIRED THEIR SERVICES". It was GREAT.

It'll all be oboslete in a few years. Netflix and Xbox one are going to take over home media.

Yet another bad business decision made by a big American company. These guys are pulling billions but that isn't enough they have to run off their customers because they want more.

Time Warner has always charged for modem rental haven't they?
You don't have to pay to rent the modem. I know we used to buy our own.

I did that years before I left the area.

I just cancelled cox cable and Internet and got a package deal from century link. I had basic cable and Internet with them and was paying 120 bucks a month... For BASIC. No HD and only 50 channels.
I'm getting fiber-optic Internet, Direct TV, high def with DVR's on all three TV's. NFL Sunday ticket and their premium services all for 70 bucks a month. Locked in for 2 ****ing years.

Suck my cox.

They don't give you the option to purchase the modem outright? **** that noise.

Pepe Silvia 08-29-2013 04:23 PM

Can't beat the price and throughput.

I'm surprised they didn't do away with that long ago. Too much money to be made in raping their customers for equipment rental fees.

Even if you don't have Google available in your area yet, you sure as hell can use that as leverage to bend them over for a better deal. Raymore hasn't been announced (who knows if ever), but ATT falls for it every time I negotiate a better rate.
