NEW TOPIC: So I got around to calling Time Warner after doing some limited searching for deals. They are only wanting to push digital cable, surprise surprise.
I HAVE NO FUCKING USE FOR DIGITAL CABLE. The channels it adds to the standard lineup are friggin' worthless. Most of them are random stupid BS spinoff channels like MTV2, EPSNU, Fox Soccer Channel (WTF), and more worthless crap. Oh, but it adds additional HD channels. Sorry - as much as I like TNT & TBS, I don't give a crap if they are in HD. The rest suck and I don't care about them.
But nooooooo, they don't have a decent intro rate for standard cable & roadrunner. The best they have is $80/month for 12 months, but a year or two ago they were running at most $60/month for 12 months.
So why don't I take the 12 month digital cable intro for like $12 more per month? Because I just don't give a crap about digital cable at all. For the couple extra channels I would appreciate, I have to deal with the box & all that crap, then return it when I cancel and blablablabla. I already don't have a good place to put my AV boxes, I don't need another one. Not to mention just seeing the hundreds of worthless channels just pisses me off.
I'm going by Best Buy tonight to see if they have any special deals in their automated signup thing in the store - I know they used to. If not, I'll probably order standard cable + roadrunner. Bah
OLD TOPIC:
It's been so long since I've had to sign up for cable & internet. I know they used to, and assume still do, offer like internet + cable for like $60/month for the first 12 months. When I signed up last time, I remember at some point having to argue with the person for a while as I had seen the ad SOMEWHERE but didn't have a coupon number or whatever.
To make my life easier, where can I find these? Doesn't BBY have deals where if you sign up in store, you get a deal like that? Or do they put them in the Sunday paper? Googling isn't turning up anything yet.
TIA!
