With regard to internet prices, you can ask for the slowest, cheapest internet version they have. Ours is $25 for the net, and it's unadvertised so you have to ask. When they downgraded us from the $40 speed, I promise you, I could not tell a difference in speeds on my end. I wonder if there really is a change! .-= Kacie´s last blog ..Trying out Groupon to potentially save money on local attractions =-.

Non-Student, I wish I knew! Since there is only *one* cable provider in our area, we don't have a ton of room for negotiation. I wish I could find a good answer to that problem... .-= This Thrifted Life´s last blog ..Craigslist, how I love thee =-.

YAY! I'm glad you set it up. Isn't it amazing how clear it is? WAY better than those analog days, yuck. .-= Kacie´s last blog ..Trying out Groupon to potentially save money on local attractions =-.

I applaud all of you non-cable folks, but it's something I haven't given up. How do you negotiate internet prices without a bundle? .-= The Non-Student´s last blog ..Being a Daughter at the Holidays =-.

My dad recently bought a $19 antenna and gets about 20 channels with it, clear as a bell. He is thrilled with it, so I would definitely recommend one of these to anyone looking for a low-cost option for basic TV. We have cable on our new house because it was cheaper to go with the package deal than have Internet alone (those sly dogs). But, like you, we have a few shows we love to watch (Fringe, The Office) and watch them all online after they've aired. We can choose when we want to watch them, and we have to sit through much less advertising. Win-win. .-= This Thrifted Life´s last blog ..Waste Not Want Not =-.
