Cable television offers aren’t hard to find, one seems to come in the mail every day if you aren’t a current subscriber.

The reason for that is due to the fact the cable television guys want to build their customer base, so of course they are willing to give you a great deal, usually for the first six months of service. The cable company understands if you sign up with them, you may set up a so-called bundled packages that includes not only cable TV, but also home phone and internet setup.

Often you can get a triple play bundle for just per month for the first year. Lets say normal pricing with a cable company is as follows: Basic TV costs a month, high speed internet is per month, and phone service is a month. With prices like this, your overall bill would be 0 per month plus all of the taxes and charges that are tacked on to the cable bill.

But what kind of issues can this result in Well think about where you will be once the promo is over. You will have all of your television sets connected to cable TV, your internet connection including your e-mail account through the cable company, and of course your home line through the cable company as well. But all at once your price goes up almost 45%, from about $100 per month to $145+ every month. Now is it easy to switch?

Maybe, maybe not. The best thing to do ahead of time is compare providers before making your final choice.One would be smart to compare Dish Network vs cable television before making a hasty decision.

While you might say to yourself it is easy to switch to some kind of deal from DirecTV or something else from your local phone company like FiOS from Verizon. That is easier said than done, however. Usually the time and inconvenience of switching from cable to a different provider makes the customer stay with whatever service they have. Even if the monthly cost is high, the customer stays because they have all the services on the same bill from the same provider. That is what the cable television company counts on when giving the subscriber a good short term deal.
