I got 1500, RR, and DVR for $85 or something. Pretty much the same deal + $5 for the DVR.

5/6/2006 11:42:11 PM

ya 'im the same. had 1000, called to cancel, got free hbo for cheaper, kept it then cancelled it after roommate moved out.

5/6/2006 11:44:48 PM

Time Warner sucks, I wanted to put a bullet through the head of the TWO, count them, TWO service reps they had to send to our house on one day to fix a fucking non-working box. And you know what they did? They ghetto'd our shit up. They ran a temp line out the back door and into the main box outside. THE BOX IS STILL NOT WORKING...skips, and it is ridiculous. We're moving in like 2 weeks...and i'm telling you, we will not be doing TWC, we already had to cancel their internet because road runner is shit (Bellsouth Fast Access DSL is the way to go at 19.99 a month)..and I think we'll be getting some sort of sattelite system, so if anyone has any suggestions, that'd be great!

5/7/2006 11:15:00 AM

^ guess you don't download any big files

5/7/2006 3:31:39 PM

Our files download in like .5 seconds now. I downloaded 18 movies in like 10 mins yesterday.

5/7/2006 3:33:53 PM

I pay for cable internet. I use an antenna for local TV, and the interwebs for anything on cable TV. Saves me about 500$/yr.

5/7/2006 5:19:16 PM

okay i have cable w/ no box right now and my dad called last week and the guy told us that we couldn't get the deal...wtf???

5/7/2006 9:14:01 PM

honestly its not really that much of a "deal"

5/7/2006 9:15:40 PM

josh its gonna save me about $15/month right now....after hte 6 months deal thing our bill went high

5/7/2006 9:18:13 PM

nvm

with what company?

5/7/2006 9:20:29 PM

the one with road runner

5/7/2006 9:20:57 PM

how do you pay $15 for it??? i pay like $95 for the stuff..and im getting pissed off w/ paying for it

5/7/2006 9:22:17 PM

wireless routers and shit

5/7/2006 9:23:41 PM

I might have to look into this. I started at about $70 a month six months ago for basic cable (no box....not HBO, etc) and roadrunner. My bill the other day was $98 and steadily rises about $5 per bill.


I'm about to call time warner and threaten to cancel. It's getting ridiculous. I have basic cable for christ sakes, and I'm paying $100 for it and a fucking router (1 computer hooked up... that's it)

All of you getting reamed by time warner are idiots.

I've promo hopped with them in every place I've ever lived. The most we've ever paid was HD+DVR+RR, were the first batch that got the HD DVR service, and STILL only paid like 115 a month.

5/8/2006 12:19:17 AM

God DAMNIT Noen is God.

5/8/2006 7:21:49 AM

how long does the deal last?

5/8/2006 10:56:35 AM

nvm

[Edited on May 8, 2006 at 11:27 AM. Reason : .]

5/8/2006 10:59:06 AM

Noen is right. All you gotta do it call and tell them either they lower your price or youll switch to another service.

I called them, told them hey either you lower my monthly bill (formerly ~95 bucks for basic cable and roadrunner) or im switching services. nothing personal i just cant afford 95 bucks. They dropped the bill 20 bucks, but with fees and crap my new monthly total is ~80 bucks.

Trust me, all you gotta do is call, be firm, and say if you dont lower my bill, ill leave.

5/8/2006 11:01:02 AM

i have a digital cable box. is there a difference for a DVR box? or are they the same?

5/8/2006 11:11:52 AM

DVR lets your record

the contract he gives you says the rate is locked in for 12 months

5/8/2006 11:23:11 AM

i know the DVR lets you record, but is the box the same as the digital cable box?

5/8/2006 11:26:35 AM

fuck TWC

5/8/2006 11:30:33 AM

i love how "cheap" means "the most we could reasonably charge you, minus about 20 bucks"

5/8/2006 11:39:24 AM

is there any way I can get this deal? I dont have a box at all so it technically is upgrading

[Edited on May 8, 2006 at 11:44 AM. Reason : d]

5/8/2006 11:43:40 AM

jesus sonali you didnt bitch about cable this much when you lived on campus, why wait til you are off campus to ask for 20 dollars off?

5/8/2006 11:45:00 AM

josh I never had cable on main campus

5/8/2006 11:46:30 AM

how did you not have cable on campus?

i went to a dorm room at bragaw and i'm pretty sure i saw cable on that one

or like did you not have a tv?

5/8/2006 11:47:33 AM

i had a tv but we had an antenna

5/8/2006 11:48:29 AM

so how does cable work on campus?

i was under the impression yall automatically got cable

5/8/2006 11:56:54 AM

you can opt out and it just won't come on in your room

5/8/2006 12:12:45 PM

for the last 1.5 years, i pay $91.86 for HD, DVR, On Demand in the den, then basic cable and internet for 3 rooms.

5/8/2006 1:43:29 PM

^^do you get charged less?

5/8/2006 1:46:28 PM

Yeah, you have to sign up for it and they charge $110 or something like that.

Resnet is charge no matter what though.

5/8/2006 2:03:06 PM

Just called and spoke to Ron. So far so good - scheduled a meeting and install for tomorrow..will see how it goes.

5/9/2006 2:42:18 PM

what are you upgrading from?

5/9/2006 3:57:00 PM

It's a new account. (Cable at my previous residence wasn't in my name).

I got the same deal as ablancas (see initial post) + the HD Suite ($6.95 - no discount).

Install is Saturday - everything tonight was booked. So far, so good.

5/10/2006 3:22:38 PM

What happens if they don't lower your bill? Do you leave?

7/3/2006 4:15:06 PM

gogo package deals

7/3/2006 6:11:43 PM

has anyone had the HD DVR and think the picture quality isnt as good as the regular digital box?
the HD DVR doesnt even have an HDMI cable hookup.

7/3/2006 6:55:08 PM

Just so everyone knows, Ron is apparently still running the same deals.

Got the Digital cable, DVR, and Roadrunner for $85 a month, for 12 months.

No installation fees, no bullshit. Best person from TWC I have ever dealt with.

To get your bill lowered, call in and say that you're losing your job. A girl at my work did it and she got RR + digi cable for like 50/mo.
