re: Question about Charter's Offer to Buy Out a Contract

You will not get the buyout. I signed us up in December and I am still waiting on the buyout. Last I heard over a month ago is that they approved the amount and the check would arrive in 7-10 business days. My direct tv has been turned over to collections because we are still waiting for the check. Don't do it!!! I have been given the run around, transferred to other departments, given excuses and even been hung up on.

Charter will definitely buy out your contract up to 500 if you get a triple play. Charter spectrum doesn't use contracts, but they do have a 2 year new customer promotion. Your bill will be 29/29/29 the first year, plus any dvr service and broad cast charges(7.50 broadcast charge, 6.99 for each dvr box). After 12 months you enter into the second year of promotion, which is 44/44/19, Internet and tv goes up 15 dollars and phone is reduced by 10. After another 12 months(month 25) your bill goes to standard pricing, which is 64/54/19. 64 for tv, 54 for Internet, 19 for phone. Charter's ultra is 300mbps for an additions 25.00 a month and charter is slowing rolling out 1 GB service nation wide. Also, charter is launching a cell phone service soon as well, using Verizon's network, expect for spectrum mobile to hit the streets in the last part of may, early june, admits gonna be a beautiful thing.

Same but I have Hulu. Cutting the cord was one of the best decisions I ever made. It took us about a month to adjust but now won’t even consider going back. Every time I get a sales pitch I tell them I’m not interested in the hassle of calling every damn year to argue about a price drop. Went from $250-$275/mo with Cox to Cox internet only and Hulu paying about $110. I haven’t missed a game or anything else we have wanted to watch.
