What's new, you wanna talk what's new ? My phone bill is for a land line , no bundling, like TV or internet just one land line with unlimited long distance , my bill is 25 dollars and change more this month then it has been in more then a decade . So I call the phone company and get started telling every one who works there , because they pass you around to every one who works there, about my surprise at my bill . finally about the 6th or 11 th menu telling me if I wanted English push one ,,,, and as many helpful humans just dying to pass me on to the next helpful human . I am told that the phone company has not raised their rates , it's the taxes and third party charges that has caused my bill to go up . I informed this human that there shouldn't be any third party any thing on my account because I was am using them the phone company's long distance plan and I don't have TV or DSL or cable or any of the other bells and whistlers they offer though third party plans . she informed me that, that was to bad because if I were to allow her to set me up with this months special bundle plan , I could start saving $5.00 a month . I informed her that she was barking up the tree. One , DSL is not available out here in the mountains , two, I'm in what is called a dead area and do not get TV ( not even the new and improved HDTV ) reception nor do I get cell phone or FM reception here. So she tells me that if I would allow her to set me up with a bundle that some day when all that became available out here I would be a step ahead of the crowd because I would already have it. Oh yeah , bummer dude , I would also be paying almost $ 125.00 more a month every month for a two year contract ,for all my new bells and whistlers .
By this time I'm done trying to be the adult one in this conversation . so I ask her , but what happens if none of those still aren't available when my contract is up in two years ? I bet you can't guess in a million years what her reply was ....
your telephone sound the same as mine. i using a land line, being charge for the same price.
with charter, i am paid five dollars for hdtv, that i don't need, where i live it doesn't affect my tv frequency or whatever. where my sister lives, she really need hdtv.
both my charter and att's bills, the sales taxes are going up that why have to paid almost four dollars more. most of the time, not always charter and att fault. it just because the compete edge against other telecommunication companies fight each others.that prices goes up.
these bundles are not that great in the long run, get one does protect from 20 to 20 dollars more month. in the long run, your bill will goes up more. that greed talking more than anything.
in the long run, the budge does save paid more a year or more. but you always screw at in the long run, there is very little , you can do. you have play along with them.
