Want to Consolidate My Cable, Phone, Satellite CHEAP in Frisco

My husband and I have been frustrated by how much our cable and satellite costs. We currently use Vonage for our phone(which is not too much), Time Warner for basic cable and internet, and Dish Network for satellite (my husband wants HDTV and Golf Channel). We know there has got to be a cheaper way to get all of this, but the research is overwhelming to me. There are so many independent companies out there, and then you have all the big telecom companies telling us to bundle services. Any ideas?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you all so much! The research seemed very overwhelming at first, and you all made it so much easier. I think we are going to go the Time Warner route. We should save about $85/month. Yea! Thanks again!

I just switched my service to Time Warner for a great deal. I have cable TV, unlimited phone service, local and LD, and highspeed internet for $99/mo. That was a big difference from AT&T, whose service we HATED. I added on the DVR for I think another $10 a month, but with all that, plus taxes and fees, it comes to $130 a month for everything. I am in McKinney, but they should be in Frisco as well. So far, we have been happy. PLUS we get a $100 refund too for bundling with this special. Just call them and ask for the $99 bundle service. I would appreciate you mentioning my name as the person who referred you. But either way, it is affordable. Good luck!

I have Time Warner for my high speed internet, phone (long distance included) and cable for $100 a month. It's so much easier to pay one bill, and the cable is great! We have tons of channels.

If you have the option (it isn't available everywhere yet) to have ATT Uverse - get it!
We had Time warner and experienced outages more than we did stability since getting ATT Uverse we have not had ANY outages whatsoever!

Give Brandon at ATT- southlake a call. ###-###-####
He is great at making deals.
It's worth it to call him or go up there and look at all your opitons.

We're so glad we switched!

Bundle with Time Warner. Get your phone, internet, and cable with them. You will save money and won't have to deal with all the problems with Vonage and satelite. I have vonage, love the price but hate the service. I wish I had Time Warner where I live. I would bundle everything with TW if I could. I beleive when you do the bundle your phone will be the same price as it is now only you won't have to deal with all the interuptions in service like I do. Hope this helps.

I know Time Warner has a set up because they try to sell me all the time. I have Time Warner for cable service and internet high speed wi-fi and my bill is about $100 a month.

I don't know what the bundle rate is.

My phone service is with ATT and they try to sell me as well with a bundle. We have 4 land lines and 3 cell phones with them.

Again, I don't know the bundle rate for either company but they sure do try to sell me on the bundle whenever I call. Maybe one of those will help.

I've been wanting to take out our cable service because we don't watch so much t.v. except in the evenings during the week day and weekend. We have Time Warner cable service. We get billed about $53 just for cable, and I think it is really a lot of money based on how little we watch t.v. and we are tight with money most of the time. I would rather spend $53 on clothes needed for myself or my kids. I kept asking my husband if we could just cut it off so we can save more money, but he said no, and must have it with what the regular basic t.v. don't offer (i.e. History channel, Food channel, etc...)I wish there was a cable service where we could just select specific channel that we only watch instead of getting over a 100 different channels that we don't watch all of it.

We had satellite to for the HD but hated the customer service and the blackout during bad weather. Now we had AT&T uverse it's fiber optic like verizon but, cheaper and they have a special running that gives you HD free for a year, and I don't think my husband could live if he didn't have his HD sports. They didn't require a deposit or a contract which
is a big plus too and you can bundle all three :) Hope this helps!
