I currently have Roadrunner Internet for $41.95/month but I've come to the point where I would like to look into how much it would cost to get cable and possible also a landline phone. What are the best packages out there that people are getting?

I thought I saw Time Warner running a promotion for bundling all three but the prices below don't seem to be a deal.

Internet
- Time Warner Roadrunner $41.95/month
- DSL?
- Clearwire?
Cable
- Time Warner Digital Cable $49.95/month
Satellite
- DirectTV for $29.99/month?
Phone
- Time Warner Digital Phone $24.95 to $39.95/month
- AT&T/Bellsouth $??.???

1. You should have probably posted this in Tech Talk.
2. I see you also frequent City-Data's forums and are quite proficient in copy/paste, haha.
3. Get U-Verse for all your cable, internet, and phone needs.

gonna go out on a limb and "guess" shes already made a similar thread in tech talk and doesn't live in an area where u-verse is available.

bundling is going to get you only so far. if you want to include phone service, for example, a bundle is going to probably be a bad idea. get vonage or something similar separately. they offer the same unlimited phone service as Time Warner Cable, at about $15 less per month.

It was way cheaper for me to not bundle.

If you can get a new customer promo from DirecTV or Dish Network, Get TWC road runner promo, and then get Vonage or Majic Jack you will save some serious. $$$$

I signed up for U Verse recently and am not that impressed. I am probably not going to keep it.

after your success last time this seems like a good idea

if you're in the minuscule operating area I hear U-Verse is the heat. Outside of that you need to check some options:

a) If you're picky about low pings and fast, reliable service on your internet consider Time Warner
b) If you care more about your TV than internet check into Centurylink/Dish Network (fantastic bundles that never go to higher rate.)
c) U-Verse

For me I used the Time Warner interwebs (like a 7 or 10 MBit connection), Sprint phone, and use Dish Network TV ('cause TurboHD is dirt cheap.) The free HD on Time Warner doesn't look as clean to me, but then again, free=free.

Time Warner has been balls for the last couple of years, in different locations, for me. You're good if you're in your own house, but forget about it at an apartment.

go with UVERSE. if you can't get UVERSE I'd either move or live like its the 1930s

11/22/2009 7:30:29 PM

i'd prefer uverse, or centurylink.. or something else... i want FIBER... can't believe we have to settle for TWC within 5 minutes of research freakin triangle park

Clear (formerly Clearwire). Packages up to 12.0 Mbps download speeds. And VoIP service.

I have decided uverse is crap. (for tv)
