The almost end result of my changing entertainment suppliers is the following. I beefed and complained about Cox charging me $142 per month for their version of Telephone, Internet and TV. I replaced their telephone by increasing the minutes on my cell phone, resulting in a $20 increase monthly, but Cox was charging me $27 for the same amount of talk time. Qwest is going to charge me $35 for DSL service and let's assume there's a $5 charge for taxes and misc. Cox charged me $33 for that, costing me $2. Direct TV sold me a package of 150 channels, which is all I ever wanted to begin with for a total of $35 including 2 receivers, that Cox charged $13 for the receivers alone. My TV bill with Cox was $87 with all of their add-ons, but not including tax. Direct TV is giving me 3 months of Showtime for free and if I don't cancel it, they'll begin to charge me $13 for it, but I'm going to cancel it. Remember, Cox's bill was $142 and I'll now be paying $35 for Internet, $20 for telephone and $35 for TV. That's a total of $90 plus tax. I'm no genius, but I'm pretty sure I just saved at least $40 plus a month for the same thing! From this consumer's standpoint, Cox sucks!

Sorry to hear about your high prices with Cox. Unfortunately, with DirecTV your introductory rate with DirecTV will increase by about $20 once the promotional period is over. If you're looking for the best price then I suggest checking out DISH Network. As a DISH employee I know that DISH offers lower prices than any other provider in the industry. You should compare the two and see for yourself.
