WOW- I just got a phone call in Dearborn/MI from WOW-GOODBYE COMCAST

[Squisher]

Wide Open West just called me and said that they are offering me(Dearborn)a cable connection with 1.8mbps down and 1.5 up for $34.95 a month no modem fee.

They also offered me 82 channels(Digital through the box Analog for the rest) for $27.95/mo.


Good bye COMCAST

hehe, ameritech calle dus today saying our phone bill will be dropping in price! :Q

It must be a metro detroit thing

 

[DarkManX]

for my telemarketing company I was calling MI comcast customers that had cable modems to upgrade them to digital cable or analog cable. almost everyone had WOW and was paying CHEAP!!! one of the worst areas I called lol.

 

[Squisher]

Some info about WOW/MI at dslreports

Most people seem to be pro WOW

 

[UberDave]

Dearborn??? My Dearborn I was waiting for competition

FINALLY! I hate comcast

 

[Murphyrulez]

Not available yet in Taylor.

 

[js1973]

Dearborn? Dearborn somehow takes precedence over Canton? That's just not right. I want to say goodbye to Comcast too.

 

[js1973]

Ha. I knew it. I just checked and it says it is available in my area too. I retract that sad emoticon. Carry on.

 

[dakata24]

wasnt WOW advertising when they first started popping up, that speeds were upto 10Mbps? and now they're closer to dsl speeds..

 

[EvilYoda]

I'm in Troy, and we've been on WOW for.........almost a month now. It's mighty nice.....we're part of their "hotbox customer" package, so it's only like 4 dollars more than our previous bills, but we get a much faster cable modem line and HBO. Plus, if you're a HB customer, and you ever order PPV, it's all half off. 1.98 for a movie! (Makes for some good competition, although I don't know if I can stand the non-DVD quality )

Congrats Squisher. ^_^

 

[Squisher]

When she quoted me the 1.8/1.5 speeds she said these were all they could guarantee, but said that speeds regularly exceeded these. However, 10Mbps is probably long gone.

 

[SALvation]

I'm in Macomb and I don't think are out here yet. The second they are I am switching. I've heard their speed is MUCH better.

 

[outriding]

the 10mbps is only in select areas..

where fiber is availible..

i have been a wow customer in troy,mi and i have been getting 1.3-2.0mbps down and 600-300 mbps up

i have had comcrap and wow kicks all over the place...

 

[Woogoat]

I called Comcast and yelled for a bit, they have me the 3 months at 19.95 promotion for my cable modem again

 

[Squisher]

Well, I called and ordered it they are going to try and set me up with it this monday. Internet/Digital cable/with HBO and two boxes. $77/month

 

[Evadman]

Wow! I hope they give ATTBI some competition here in Chicago Subs. 1.5 would be sweet!

That's an introductory offer that will increase after 3, 6, or 9 months.

Soon enough, Comcast and ATTBI are going to combine -so it doesn't really matter anyway

I asked her that, not that it really mattered because I was expecting them to be comparable to Comcast, and she actually said that it would be the rate except for the first three months in which HBO would be cut in half. BTW-the $27.95 was for basic Digital, it's $37.95 for like 12 HBO's with 120 channels altogether and I'm now getting a second cable box for $3.95/mo. The old ball and chain has been bugging me to get the Sapranos

Screw cable TV. I'm talking about cable internet. You're going to be paying $38/month for 1.8mbps/1.5mbps !? I'd specifically ask about service changes of any kind when you talk again...
