Finding a good deal on cable TV isn’t difficult, that is as long as your not already a customer of the cable company.

The reason for that is because the cable TV company wants to build their customer base, so of course they are willing to offer you a good deal, usually for the first year of your cable service. The cable provider figures if you get service from them, you may set up a so-called bundled packages that includes not only cable television, but also home phone and high speed internet service.

You can usually 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 type of issues can this result in Well consider what the bill will look like once your promotional period is over. Then you will have all of your TV’s connected to the cable company, 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 50%, from around $100 every month to $140+ each month. Its not alway easy to switch out of your provider?

Maybe, maybe not. The smart thing to do ahead of time is compare companies before making your final decision.One would be wise to comparison shop cable vs Dish TV Classic Bronze before making a hasty decision.

While you might logically say it is not a problem to switch to some kind of DirecTV deal or something else from your local phone company like FiOS by Verizon. As they say though, easier said than done. Often the time and inconvenience of switching providers makes the customer yield to whatever service they have. Even though the monthly bill 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 offering short term deals to acquire the subscriber.
