Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4710173, member: 1559"] The cable bundle may not be completely on the outs as there is some innovation going on out there. Our housing development signed up for this: $83/month for: 500 Mbps speed no data caps Modem/Router 125+ channels 3 premium channels HBO/Showtime/Cinemax On Demand 2 DVR cable boxes Adds ons can be purchased direct like sports packages (already includes the ESPN stuff/SECN. BTN, ACCN, and FS1), other premium channels, higher internet speed,... I think the price is locked in for 2 years with max price increases in the future of 5%. You are on your own for wiring your house if you haven't already. When the condo board announced the bulk deal, I thought the deal was too good to be true, but that is the deal. I am now paying a little extra for some sports channels. I asked the provider how they could do the deal. They said we are getting a bulk rate, billing is semi annual in advance with one bill going to the association which is much cheaper for the provider (we get charged through our HOA fees), they won't wire your house so they avoid that cost, standardization of equipment and services, and they got all of the housing complex where before some had DISH, some didn't have cable/internet, and some were internet only. Approximately 88% of the complex had internet and 60% had cable previously. Some people wanted to opt out of the deal, but the deal was 100% of the complex or no deal and the board voted to add the expense to annual dues. [/QUOTE]
