Cablevision help!

A few questions for those that have cablevision - What is the cost of the Triple Play after the 12 months? (I can't find it on the website anywhere.) The equipment charges are as follows:
Box $6.28
Remote .22
Premium Programming $1.50 (what is considered premium?)
Digital Cable Card $2 (do I really need this?)

phone is- 34.95

computer is -44.95

depending on tv package 83.36

then you get a 20.00 discount

ae bill 140.00 a month

I think you can negotiate your package for 2 yrs instead of 1. They charge you per box and per remote too!

Also sign up for Optimum Rewards. Credit on your bill every month and you get cool rewards.

My dad talked to them about service in NJ...after 1 year, the price jumps up to about $132/month (that's the quote customer service gave him). Here's the link to channels .

We ended up just going with the separate iO TV and internet service from them. They were having a special where internet and TV are $77/month for the first 6 months and $92/month for the next 6 months...DH and I only use our cellphones so we didn't get phone service.

HTH!

Oh good to know about the package. I know they charge per box, remote, etc. - Time Warner does the same thing.

I HATE CABLEVISION! I blink and I get another bill. I can never get caught up. When I move last year, I owed a month and 1/2 on the first bill! After the year was up, they jacked up the price. I think it was around $150. I didn't realize it, so we owed so much because I was under paying besides being behind. We owed like $400 something all of sudden. I had my FH sweet talk them, he has a way with words. He got us a credit of about $150 and a lower bill of about $110/month. We threatened to disconnect. You need to speak to that depmt, not customer service. They don't care and won't help you. Sorry for the rant, but as you can tell I really hate them.....

This is with all cable companies. You get charged a 'connection' fee on your first month's bill which is why it's so much. The phone company does the same crap.
