Comcast Promotion's crew just got me to add digital cable.

Tried to have somebody come and install 1 box and I was like:
:whoa:

Basically, I'm paying 45 for just the internet 20mbps. I also have basic local cable which is hooked directly into my TVs (no boxes it's just comes in free). They said my shyt was going up to 62 dollars just for my internet package... or I could just upgrade to 30mbps and add Digital Economy cable for 59. Threw in 2 free months of HBO as well.

What I don't get is how in the hell are they going to give me this and it doesn't have HD? I really just did it for the increase in net speed, and I figured since I added the TV, when the 6 months is up I can just tell them to sign me up for which ever internet only deal they have going on at the time. No contracts so...

:yeshrug:

How you gonna offer a TV package and HD ain't included in 2012?

Nope.

That's why I insisted on not having a tech come out to install the 1 box.

I basically have a coaxial cable in 3 out of the 4 rooms that I have TVs in my house. There's no boxes for them either. The box that I'm getting from them will go in the 1 room that isn't hooked up to a coaxial cable. I don't even think it's stealing to be honest, I think it's just included when they turn on the service for the house. I think they charge people for the boxes and depend on folks to use their techs to run the cables throughout the house.

And that's why it doesn't make sense to me why they said that the new shyt with the box isn't in HD :smh:

A lot of people do that and tech's that see it normally snitch or try to stop people using the internet coaxial to get basic cable. I know my boy is doing that with Charter (or some other cable company). He got their web service and got a splitter to get basic cable.

bytch. Moan. Escalate.

Thats how you get shyt done or changed with cable companies.

I made sure they sent me a documentation that the rate that I currently have will be locked in for 12 months. it doesn't hurt than I have a family member who works at time warner. But I basically got the highest speed internet, And HD Cable with a DVR and HBO, Cinemax, Starz, and Showtime for like $120.

I usually don't haggle with prices much with things but I was always do it with Cablle/Internet providers cause there is always a promotion, bundle or something and they can always alter your plan.

thats exactly what i need :ohhh:

what u got comcast
