They want to give me an upgraded modem for the doubled internet speed, a free movie channel, and the phone service (which I dont want). She said that the phone would be $5 extra if I choose to use it (which I won't.) How are they gonna get me for the other shite?

EDIT

called cox and gave them the number, and they said it's a crock of shite. dont answer any calls from 855 312-5331

You'd be renting that modem, which is not a good deal.

Free forever? Sounds like a promotional deal where you'll have to start paying the regular rates in 6 months.

We get those kind of calls from "AT&T" here at work. They want to do all kinds of shite for us and save us money on our account... but then they'll ask for your account number.

If you're really with AT&T shouldn't you know my info already?

I assume there is an asterisk(*) 'free' premium channel & $5 phone for a "limited time only"?

After the introductory *limited time only" you get the normal rates?

Sometime ago I had some service try to set me up with something like that. They were a third party sales operation hired by either cox or att. Can't remember which. They were very high pressure aggressive etc.
