Is that why you are trying to cut back on your Internet/TV service? Money for shit paper?

12Mbps 1.5 up for $29/mo

Cable is 25Mbps down and 3 up for $60

 

Comcast is our cable company. I get 30Mbps down and 8Mbps up and home phone for 62.00 a month, just internet would have been $10 more. So for the savings I have a home phone. I know it makes no sense.

 

I will not give up my directv, even though I fight with them a lot over pricing.

My DSL through verizon was not bad, just at times was very slow.

I just got done installing a new Honeywell universal aquastat to get a fucking error code 2! ECOM fault! Fucking thing is going back. The only thing that connects to the ECOM is the thermostat and that is brand new.

That all being said, I am contemplating switching to DSL. I NEVER game, but do use VOIP. Need a reasonable connection and am SICK of the $150 cable bill. Anyone want to talk me out of DSL?

 

 

Just don't. You are already bitching about speed. I used DSL for 3 months... FUCK THAT SHIT

Never happen. You simply will not see those speeds, I don't care what they say.

 

 

Mostly pissed about the cable bill. Costco is really making Direct TV seem cheap. The wife needs a bunch of channels.

I "need" the Food network and local sports affiliates for Wild Games. Outside of that I watch nothing.

I don't know anyone who has been happy switching to dish/directdirect TV.

 

 

You must not know anyone then. Leaving cable was the best thing I ever did. I have never met anyone who says otherwise. Sure, dealing with pricing can be a bit of a pain, but they always work with you in the end.

Good experience with DirectTV then? From a home automation perspective it is WAY better for me.

Their guaranteed speed (which I have in writing, lol) is faster than what I get pretty much all of the time except during the day. When I want fast internet (ie at night) the cable takes a dump.

I have been with them for 14 years and love the signal and 3D channels, but I will fight with them every time they change my price and they always have taken care of me.

LOVE DirecTV!  Unfortunately for me, they would not deal with me, and $90/month just to watch F1 is unacceptable.

 

Comcast and all cable companies are shit.  Just shit.  DSL is a BIG shit.

Century Link bundles with DirectTV, but I can also do it all separate. That sounds like the best option.

Was DSL variable? Figure my conversation tonight will get me out of any long term contract and they have a 30 day trial. Almost setup an install to do a back to back but they wanted my social security number and I said no. They then told me I needed to pay a deposit today to set it up. I said fine, show me the contract, I'll read it and then make a deposit otherwise no deal. Then the bastard said the deal he offered he can't promise will last and I almost lost it. That sales tactic is reserved for time share bullshit, not real companies.

Costco pricing is WAY cheaper than that. LIsted on their site.

**although I can't promise to have any idea what channel F1 might be on. Their biggest package wasn't even $90/mo though.

I cancelled 3 years ago, and have no idea what packages run now.  I still don't need it, so it's not worth the money to me.  F1 is on NBCsports BTW.

The only thing that gets wired to the ECOM on this boiler is the thermostat.

 

I installed it as per their diagram  for single zone connections. From everything I have been reading, it is not uncommon for these units to be bad off the shelf. Chances are I got the bad one as that is my luck.

Yes. It isn't repeatable when it happens. Fine now, but I am sure in 10 minutes I'll be pissed again.
