What do you pay per month for Time Warner? (rent, buy)

[Eastender67]

Here's Houston Chronicle column (Dwight Silverman) about his experience with Uverse:
Growing pains challenge AT&T's U-verse | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

It's available some places in Houston but not at my home. (They wire the rich neighborhoods first, then those like mine [poor] maybe later.)

EL through TWC:$30/mo and ~$.50 tax (standard tier: 6Mb/s Down, 468Kb/s Up). TV is OTA terrestrial broadcast + free QAM HD locals by TWC. Also use Boxee/Hulu, CNN Live etc. streaming or direct digital download i.e. ALL FREE. DVR is free via MCE 2005 complimented by VOD for non broadcast channels. No POTS (copper telephone) since 2004; instead utilize cellular (T-Mo $69.99 1k min family plan w/text x2 $10 minus 15% corp monthly discount= ~$73/mo), and Skype and Skype-to-go (i.e. mobile) for 1-877 & International phone calls. OT, but about to switch to Sprint Everything Data Fam Plan (Unl. handset 3G data, SMS, and MMS) on 2 handsets 1500k min for $99.99/mo!

I don't know what in the world I'd do with 'every channel'. I don't even have enough time to keep up with what I have...

I have Time Warner's Roadrunner and pay $48 which includes taxes. I have a Zeevee box so I don't need to have basic cable or any other cable channels, a empty computer is all that I need to watch movies and shows. I don't have a land line, we have a 2 line family plan with tmobile which includes text msg for about $85/month.

I've had uverse for 6 months and I'd never go back to time warner. I have every channel uverse offers, 3 HDDVRs, Phone, and internet. We've had no issues picture quality is great (standard and HD) and pay $170. The same thing with Timewarner would have easily put me over $200+ a month. I even got $200 back from UVERSE when I first signed up. I'm extremely happy with the service and quality of the product. Mind you I used to hate AT&T and vowed to never do business with them. I just coudln't pass on the deal.

3 boxes here phone and internet. No issues. Time Warner.

Bill= $150 and includes unlimited nationwide calling, Roadrunner.

Run $65 of this through my expense account at work (phone and internet)..so I pay $85.

I pay 72.00 for time warner Roadroaner premium and included is the Texas calling plan.
You guys want some advice...have someone order Direct Tv HD service and get 5 or 4 machines or less don't matter. Get your friends or family to buy an HD sat antenna they sell them at flea markets real cheap, and split the cost of the receiver you can pay as low as 25.00 dollars for all HD channels inclucing all showtime, HBo , and Cinemax channels. Direct TV HD looks amazing on a samsung flatscreen LCD.

Curious -- how did you arrive at $25 per month? DirecTV doesn't offer an "HD Only" programming package (but Dish Network does). DirecTV HD programming is a $10 per month add-on to whatever SD programming package you have.

To get a sustained price of $25 per month for all the channels would require a continuing stream of referrals, I would think. Gotta be pretty influential to convince 10 friends or family members per year to sign up for DirecTV as new customers.

I think tejano2828 is saying that one person orders satellite service with 4 or 5 receivers on the account; the other persons buy and install their own dish and use one or more of the subscribed receivers. Since extra receivers are only charged a nominal monthly fee, the more friends who share an account, the lower cost for each person.

Obviously, this is not technically allowed by either satellite provider according to TOS. Can they find out? It depends.

I had that package and deal as Latinocowboy, but after about 2 years my bill jumped up to $160.00. It was a promo. Now I have the same package (less the premium channels) for $150.00 locked in for 2 years. I don't want any more suprise hikes in my bill for a while. Not totally happy with the price though, I guess I was spoiled doing promo after promo for 4 years.

I pay 126 a month for Turbo RR, One Premium, Variety, HD DVR on 3 TV's, and SD on 2 other TV's. Very happy with the service.
