cable and internet from Suddenlink. I get something like 10 HBO channels
($10 extra/mo) and all of the HD channels Suddenlink offers, which is like 10
or 12. Watching espn football in HD is pretty much worth it all
IMO. I wish more HD channels were offered. In major cities many
more HD channels are offered. Not sure why we get so few. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

offered to add phone service in for $29/month for three months. Then it
would go up to $39/mo. The offer they made you: all 3 for less than $100
is probably for the slowest internet speed, the most basic cable and their
phone service. If not, I’d like to know where to sign up. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt'>I received an offer from Suddenlink that promises me
an monthly bill of less than $100 for cable, internet and phone. That
package is costing me about $125/month now. Is this a good deal or am I
missing something. One aspect of the promise that Suddenlink is making is
that the rate is good for only 12 months. My current rate has been stable
for several years. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>I would be cautious about cable phone (which is
essentially VOIP) - if the cable service is down you don't have that phone
line, although a cell phone might suffice (but not for incoming calls).
So it depends on how sturdy Suddenlink is in your specific area. (Of course if
the fibre is down you don't have any phone service regardless of what you use.)<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'><br>
Can anyone also tell me how I can get high definition TV service through
Suddenlink cable? Do I need a special box or will my current boxes (Tivo
Series 2 and a Cox Digital Cable box) do the trick? Thanks for the
help. Rollin <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>You have to upgrade to an HD capable digital receiver
(replacing the Cox Digital Cable box) and subscribe to a separate HD Plus
tier. But since no local TV stations broadcast in HD as yet, the HD
channels you get won't include their HD equivalents. <br>
<br>
Hope this helps a bit.<br>
