AT&T U-Verse vs Bright House Cable Update

Last week I was very excited to share that I would be saving money by switching my cable from Bright House Cable to At&T U-Verse.  


After all was said and done, I would be saving close to 60.00 to 70.00 dollars a month.  Sounds pretty good right?  I thought so.  Well, I got a phone call from Bright House on Monday.  They want me back.  Big Time.  They are offering a sweeter deal for a longer period of time.  They will give me the same amount of channels plus two Movie Channels, the two DVR's (which I didn't have before) the fast cable, and the home phone PLUS a FREE MONTH of SERVICE for ..... (drum roll please.......)  119.95 per month!!!  Lets just say I did not hesitate to make the switch back to Bright House.  They will be here on Thursday to re-do the boxes and the phone and internet. 

I called AT&T to see if they could beat the deal... but they could not.  They could only offer a similar deal for 6 months and there was no free month.   Now, I am hoping for a smooth transition and must confess, I do like Bright House better.  Learning all the Channels on AT&T was a bit overwhelming!

Bye-Bye Bright House Cable

Hello AT&T U-Verse!! We are ditching or cable and switching to AT&T U-Verse digital for our phone, internet and TV.  I have been looking for ways to reduce some of our monthly bills without having to totally give up the things we do enjoy.

Since I have AT&T for my home phone, I gave them a call to price check a bundle of home phone, internet, and TV.  To my surprise, They were able to save me quite a bit of money!

Initially, my home phone was 44.00 dollars ( I just cannot give up my house phone, it just makes me feel better to have one).  My cable bill with Bright House averages about 135.00 dollars.  It can be a little higher if movies are ordered. Combined, both bills average around 179.00 dollars a month.

AT&T has a plan that will cover my internet, home phone, and TV's (we have two) and it will cost me about 110.00 dollars a month for the first 6 months.  After that, it will go up about 25.00 dollars.  The first six months is a special.  Also, they are waiving the cost for installation which is about 149.00 dollars.

After this months phone and cable bill, I will be on AT&T's U-Verse plan and will save about 69.00 dollars for the first six months.  I will apply that difference to my debt (Credit Cards) to whittle down the balance.
