I have Charter Cable service. I got Internet (30 Mbps down), the Digital Home Package, Digital View Plus, Wire Maintenance and DVR equipment package. Now that comes to $124.69 a month.
So I have high speed Internet and HD digital TV with DVR service.
OK now I get a $13.40 a month discount for the Digital home package for six months. That will be soon. I also get a $15.00 a month discount for the Internet service and that will be over very soon.
Now Charter is offering a special deal to me and others until 02/10/2012. I can lock in a lower price for 2 years.
They have a package for $154.97 a month; Charter Internet (15 Mbps down), Charter TV in HD with the DVR service plus HBO/Cinemas, Starz/Encore and Showtime/TMC. Also the Digital View Plus service.
Also they offer Charter Phone Unlimited nationwide calling service.
Now the first thing is that I have 30 Mbps down now and love it. Russ would not be happy if I went to 15 Mbps down.
The other thing is now I do not have any channels like HBO, Showtime and the others. I been thinking of adding HBO and it is $20.00 a month to add.
Right now I use Skype for my phone service. I been using it for years. I could do away with it and save what I pay them.
It looks to me like I need to call Charter and take the deal. My cost is going to go up up soon $38.40 if I do not do anything. I would be getting all the premium channels which I do not have now. Plus I would have phone service with them.
I would have to buy a normal phone. We don’t have one.
Plus what I hate is I know they will have to come out to install the phone service and there will be a service call fee for that.
What do you think? Anyone good at math? Anyone see anything I am missing.
Not sure what to about the 15 M vs 30 M speed. My guess is they might keep me at the 30 M speed or they might say I could have the extra speed for $10.00 more a month.
They offer the 30 M down speed now I think for $30.00 a month and I pay now $39.99 a month for Internet service. I think they might just leave me at 30 M down speed.
Leave a comment if you see something I am missing. I am not the brightest bulb.
