http://slickdeals.net/f/6745292-fre...-and-double-play-blast-50mbps-customers-ymmv? Edit: Have not seen speed increases yet, but am consistently getting Blast speed now.
Dude! Repped. I already had the 105/20 service but I called in anyway and told them why aren't I getting a promotional deal when others are getting free upgrades? Their response, they're going to charge me the rate of "Blast" which drops my Internet bill by around $40. Also to note, I'm not a "double play" customer. I just have Internet through them, and TV through DirecTV.
Yea, it was easy as heck calling them up and getting the deal. I was paying $68 for just internet for the past few months. Upgraded to Blast and Basic Cable and my price dropped to $50 a month. And now essentially I get Extreme internet for the same $50 per month. Glad I invested in that Docsis 3 modem.
Wait, so you are paying $50/mo for 105 down AND cable??? How long is the term? Anyone else get these numbers?
Basic cable is garbage though. No HD and no CSNHouston. I'm paying $140 total after taxes and fees now for 105mbp Internet and the Digital preferred with HD on 3 TVs. I get most of the channels minus HBO, SHO. Waaaay better than U-Verse and no contract. I guess if I got a contract it would save me $20 a month.
I just signed up, however, my old moderm is docsis 2.0 and not 3.0, so I won't be able to get the speed upgrade til I upgrade my modem.
The modem is cheap on amazon. Usually $80 but I'd buy it right away with all these upgrades coming. I now need a $100 router.
Been using the 105/20 service for a while, no need for a 100 dollar router. Depending on the wireless nic's of your devices, the most you'll see is 80mbps (on my laptops wireless) but wired I'm hitting 137 at times. I use this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028ACYEK Well, it's 90 dollars so i guess i might as well call it a $100 router lol
I personally like this one http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AJHDZSI...TF8&colid=1SM9BSLR4KH0B&coliid=I3RGT4P2Q1PZJY
Damnit I called and it was no dice, I even tried to talk him into it but he said to call the local billing office to get it taken care of
Sorry for double post, called the number again and the next guy gave me the upgrade with no issues. So it at first it doesn't work just call again
I called in and they gave me the offer, but I'm really looking to sign a contract and pay less for the same package I currently have (Blast Plus 50/10 and Economy internet). I was just on a promotion where both ran me about $60 w/ tax. I honestly have no need for that ridiculous bandwidth lol
Hmm, I called and they would do the upgrade of service at no additional monthly charge, but said it cost $249 to have it installed... that it was a big install. Didn't seem right to me -- anyone else getting that?
They told me the install is only if your modem isn't compatible. Since I have a DOCSIS 3.0 modem I didn't have to do anything.
