Cable TV deals are easy to find, that is as long as you aren’t already a subscriber to Comcast or Time Warner.
The reason for this is because the cable TV company wants to build their subscriber base, so of course they are willing to give you a good deal, generally for the first six months of your cable service. The cable provider figures if you get service from them, you probably will set up a so-called bundled packages that includes not only cable television, but also home phone and high speed internet service.
Often you can get a triple play bundle for just per month for the first year. Consider the following example with cable company pricing: Basic TV costs a month, high speed internet is per month, and phone service is a month. With prices like this, your overall bill would be 0 per month plus all of the taxes and charges that find their way onto your cable bill.
But it is good to consider how this might turn out down the road Well consider what the bill will look like once your promotional period is over. Then you will have all of your TV’s connected to cable TV, your high speed internet with your e-mail address with the cable company, and of course your home line through the cable company as well. But suddenly the price goes up nearly 40%, from about $100 per month to $145+ each month. Its not alway easy to switch out of your provider?
Maybe, maybe not. The smart thing to do ahead of time is compare providers before making your final choice.One would be smart to compare Suddenlink vs Dish Network before making a hasty decision.
While you might logically say it is easy to switch to some kind of deal from DirecTV or something else from your local phone company like Verizon FiOS. As they say though, easier said than done. Often the time and inconvenience of switching providers makes the customer yield to whatever service they have. Even if the monthly cost is high, the customer stays because they have all the services on the same bill from the same provider. That is what the cable TV company expects when giving the subscriber a good short term deal.
