Pricing Dsl and Cable

[drlowz]

What do you guys pay, and what kinda pricing did it take to get you started? Such as activation fees and equipment fees. Also what provider are you all using.. I am wanting to get one or the other but so far everybody I have called is wanting all this money for this and that on the first bill..

I have @ Home cable for a few years now. They gave me the first 3 months at $19.95 and then $39.00 after that. No set-up fee for installation and free network card but you could save $10 a month if you provide your own cable modem. About 3 months ago they raised the price $10 to $49. Bob

I think it was 9.00 to get the cable up and running and its 39.95 a month......IMO, its not worth it.

I think it was about 3 years ago that I got what was Mediaone Road Runner but is now ComCast. I paid $20/month for the first 3 months I think then 49.99/month after that. But when I had mediaone cable tv I only paid 39.99/month.

As for the equipment and setup = $0

My ethernet card was less expensive to get thru a local computer store then it was thru RR. (the RR tech told me where to go). Not only did I save about $60, I also got the card installed ahead of time, cutting down on the time it would take to get me up and running.

I do see that Best Buy sells my modem for ~$200.

Shop around - locally a lot of places are offering FREE cable modem thru the end of the year etc etc etc. Good luck!

I use Earthlink DSL. Free setup, $50/month, free modem and nic card. Customer service/support doesn't exist there.

Yep, exactly to all of what eses said

Earthlink here, too.

Started at $40 a month, went up to $50.

Customer service? I hope you like listening to Muzak on hold.

Other than that, no problems... it's never been down (at least not when I've been online).

You'll never go back to dialup.
