don't get your pants (or your TV, phone, and Wi Fi service) in a bundle

I have looked (not too terribly hard) and found it is impossible to get either Quest, Charter, direct TV or Dish to tell you how much it's going to cost you for their services after the special introductory offer expires. This is really irritating. Makes me want to pitch the whole thing, get a converter box and take my chances with an antennae.

  1. Can't speak for Charter. We have Comcast where we live and the bundled price after the initial offer expires has been about $30/month higher. That's not insignificant, but our service has been better than what we had before we took the Comcast bundle, so we've stayed with it. Your mileage may vary.

  2. Oh man, do not go for the bundle. We did a Direct TV and Qwest Bundle and turned out we violated some other Qwest bundle deal we already had and ended up paying MORE for the supposed savings. We undid the bundle just to get back what we had.

    Don't get the bundle!
    Television rots yer brains!
    You're all gonna die!

  4. Most of the contracts are for 12 months. I just looked into getting W H Comm which would have been 15 dollars a month a cheaper than Charter but their service stops at the River. Rats we're 1 block away from Charter freedom. W.B. more and more I'm thinking what you're saying.

  5. What is this "television" you are talking about? Is it that flickering screen that you guys watch before taking your wife's lingerie to use for golf? :^)

    (research proves that the frequency of marital relations goes down by half when a television is in the bedroom.....the cost of cable appears to be far more than $50-$100/month!)

    That's why you don't put a TV in your bedroom. Ever.
