FREE XBOX 360 & $150 BB GC Best Buy/Time Warner Cable Triple Play Offer: New Customer's 10/29/12-1/05/13

Quote from jinxeddeep : don't mean to nitpick here but a minimum of 90 days sounds like a contract to me...albeit a short one

So, when you said this the first time.....it wasn't enough?

Quote from Kakaha : Any activation and installation fee?

Anyone have deatails on these fees?

Quote from OopsMyDeals : Wonder if this deal apply to current customer's who for say drop Time Warner and sign up again?

Quote from TheOldinOut : Anyone know if there's a timeframe that you have to be cancelled from any TWC service before you are considered a "new customer" again? I only have their cable internet service right now. Thanks.

I also currently have only internet. I can "borrow" a neighbors wifi for a few days to use this deal, but don't want to go through the hassle of returning my modem for no reason.

They recently added a $4 monthly lease fee, so I coincidentally returned their model last week and bought my own to use.

I wonder if we can just sign up after a few days from cancelling their internet.

I wonder if you can do this if you are currently getting just earthlink internet from TW with no other service?

Quote from mskamelot : not available in Hawaii... isn't Hawaii part of USA? F@rk not available in Hawaii... isn't Hawaii part of USA? F@rk

why are you complaining?? you live in Hawaii! Farking Hawaii!!!!

Quote from drroone : Yeah, Go to BB and tell them you want to get TWC.

Why would I tell Best Buy that I want The Weather Channel?

is this promotion officially posted online anywhere? I just want to see if NY is included. thanks.

I have been looking into buying my own modem as well. Which model did you get? In NY, the only models that are docsis 3 compatible (support the higher speeds) are the Motorola SBG6580 (modem + router) and Motorola SB6141 (just modem). I want to use my own router (simultaneous dual-band N router) so I'm considering the SB6141, but can't find it for less than $110. That would take 2 years to break even with the $4/month TW bills, assuming it doesn't die before 2 years. I am having trouble justifying getting my own modem, but really don't want to shell out $4/month extra to TW just out of principle.

Which modem did you go for and what did you spend?

I saw reports of others successfully arguing with TW to get unapproved modems activated, but if I'm going to spend $$ on a modem, I want it to be future-proof (TW technology will soon require the newer modems) and I heard if you have a problem with an unapproved modem , you are SOL even if it is TW's fault.

IDK, but you could call your local BB to find out.

Quote from kovy : I wonder if you can do this if you are currently getting just earthlink internet from TW with no other service?

Earthlink customers are considered eligible

SoCal best buys will waive installation and activation fees. Or at least a select few that I know have free installation and activation fees. I don't know if all best buys have free installation

Repeating yourself as if you're reaffirming your stance, but all you're reaffirming is that you don't understand the meaning of contracts and ETFs. There is a difference between Early Termination Fees versus staying a minimum length in order to receive freebies.

You're free to leave, just don't expect the free goodies. What do you want? Get their gift card and xbox and cancel the very next day? LOL!

I got the SB5101U DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem for ~$25 shipped used from Amazon.

Quote from TheOldinOut : I got the SB5101U DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem for ~$25 shipped used from Amazon.

OK, I guess since I currently am not getting turbo anyway, I should go the docsis 2.0 route. For $25 it would only take 6 months to break even.

I see on http://www.timewarnercable.com/en...modem.html

that the SB5101 and SB5101U are available to use. Do you know the differences?

Edit: I just looked on amazon for a SB5101U (apparently newer than the SB5101) and they are 60-70. I see used for $25 shipped. Did you buy used?

HOLD ON!...why the animosity!...i didn't repeat myself!...idk how that msg got on there again...didn't you guys even stop to think why anyone would repeat themselves without even adding another word?

and no, i did not expect to get a free GC and xbox...

@siratfus
i am a reasonable guy and I find your first point valid and will concede that you are right (although i knew it myself) i was just sorta thinking out loud through the post is all..will not in future
