So, I just moved into a house from my apt where Brighthouse was required and we got a nice discount. Brighthouse was charging me $129/mo (including taxes and fees) for a pretty good channel lineup and 35mps of internet (I was actually getting close to 90mps according to my computer) at my new house. I literally have had them for a little over a month and I wanted to price U-Verse. Nothing else in terms of features, premium channels, DVR, etc. but the lineup is good. It's got everything I need and of course no contract
U-Verse offer:
-45mps of internet (250GB limit then $10/50GB after that-using their data calculator it looks like I'll be fine)
-U300 Channel line up including Starz, Showtime and 3mos of HBO and Cinemax and also every sport channel you need (lots of premium cable).
-DVR
-Free Install
-12mo contract ($180 early termination fee) and can opt out of contract no penalty after 12mos.
Total Price for 12mos: $114 before fees and taxes AND a $250 VISA prepaid card I can use for anything except redeem for cash so naturally I'll apply this towards my cable bill.
I already called Brighthouse and tried to haggle with them and they can't do anything to match what I can get from U-Verse and the only way to come close to this price is to drop the level of my current services. The TV Guide also runs pretty slow which drives me crazy and I've already called and got a signal refresher that did help some. Other than those complaints I'm satisfied and I'd say these complaints are fairly minor and to be expected.
I'll prolly save approx. $10/mo in regular billing plus the additional $250 credit puts my yearly savings at approx. $350 over the next 12mos. Sounds like a great deal to me and me being a financial guy, I'm pretty pleased with how I'll come out.
I've experienced U-Verse a lot at an aunt's house over the past several years and really enjoy it, and a close buddy of mine just had to give his up down here (Orlando) and he's upset about it because of where he lives and his seemed to work really well.
What does the Sixpack say about this deal? Install set for Saturday morning.
