Christyl(Fri Aug 21 21:41:51 PDT 2009)>Nanita, let me check if I can get a package for you,similar to that one.

Nanita(Fri Aug 21 18:39:40 PDT 2009)>Thanks. I prefer cable internet over DSL, so I'd rather not switch. But it's such a good deal!

Nanita(Fri Aug 21 18:53:33 PDT 2009)>Awesome.

And that is your PSA for all of you Comcast subscribers. CHANGE YOUR PLAN NOW. SAVE MONEY. IT's AWESOME!

My bill is going from $130+ (for service which included NO HBO)

to...

Christyl(Fri Aug 21 21:59:46 PDT 2009)>Your total monthly bill will only be $ 55.97

And that's with HBO and Showtime.

Man, I wonder if I can work some kind of deal. Too bad my stupid cable company chat is closed for the night, and my only other TV option is Direct TV.

advilpm, right?

Right.

On the toe, I don't think I could even tape it, my little toes are so weird. Meh.

I totally need to do that with my phone/internet provider. You guys are very inspiring.

Shit, that's less than my phone+ dsl. Except, I need my landline. I don't use the cell. Just under $100 for internet and phone. I don't need cable.

I'm still on vacation!

Your total monthly bill will only be $ 55.97

And that's with HBO and Showtime.

The living shit, that's better than my deal! Does that include DVR too?

Maybe I'm on Digital Preferred instead of Digital Starter.

I don't use a Comcast DVR, I've got a lifetime Tivo box (and a Roku). I do have two Comcast boxes, and I don't think that's included in the $55.97

I could tell no real dif between the digital starter and preferred. But honestly the only cable channels I care about are CSN, ESPN, AMC, MSNBC and Comedy Channel. I wouldn't notice any others missing.

I just checked the lineup to see why I wasn't on Standard. Preferred has G4, and I need G4. It also has some Disney and Nicktoon channels that are there when I'm in a tween mood. It also has Fuse, which I used to watch all the time in Ann Arbor but I've never watched here. I should make an effort to watch these extra channels I'm paying for!

Good job on the great deal, you!

Okay, I'm going to have to check in with Comcast too. I'll report back with the results.
