This is true- they will NOT tell you there is a cheaper internet package. I call and ask every so often if there is anything any cheaper. I saved between $10.00- $15.00 a MONTH by doing this and switching. Since we have a hot rod computer anyways, we can't tell a bit of difference in speed. |

I got the "economy plan" slower speed cable internet service. You have to ask for it. I now can do online banking, watch Netflicks and TV on my computer. Price? $19.99. Of course, I had to buy the modem, but I quickly made that $100.00 up by saving money with TV on the PC, Netflicks, and a converter box for my antenna TV. My total monthly bill for TV and internet is now $30.00 |

To Jennifer:
To watch hulu you need to keep at least a 2 mb connection. Any slower and it may have it pause to load now and then. I have a 1.44 mb connection and "sometimes" it pauses about 2 or 3 times for about a minute during a 25/30 minute show.
To $$$saver:
VOIP is affected by your upload speed more than download speed. In the slower packages your upload speed may be below what's needed for VOIP. Check your package and make sure the upload speed is at least 256 kb. I recommend 512 kbs upload if you plan to browse while talking. Your download speed will usually be at least double your upload speed if not many times more.
