I just checked their site. I am not a fan of having to pay extra because the discounts drop off the second year. Hopefully BF will bring something good!

exactly! they are sneaky in their wording.

the discount is only for the first year of about 50%, so across 2 years it is only 25% off each of the 2 years of the contract.

if someone steals food from your lunch in the refrigerator at work, just make some yummy tempting cookies with laxatives in them. then just wait to see who gets the runs! that person wont ever steal anything from your lunch ever again!!! O.O

I used to get flyers for $19.99/mo service a couple years ago. I wish that'd come back! Since you were the first one to post, I'll let you know if I ever sign up!

PS. Are there monthly box (HD and SD) fees as well?! Frown

When I called in to get my bill reduced (Really just call in and ask) they said I would see it on the next billing cycle.

looks like it would take almost 3 years for a $138 DOCSIS 3 modem at $4/mo. to pay for itself.

3 yr. squaretrade warranty is $21.

total cost would be 3.3 years to pay for itself.

But I got Refurbished like New from amazon is only 80 dollar for DOCSIS 3 Modem.

I purchased Motorola SBG6580... I purchased it last Friday.
The Modem was sealed and new... And I activated it with TWC yesterday. Big Grin

But I still need to test it with wifi and stuff...
