From the Greensburg rate card, you can add on the sports package (which includes Speed) for $4.95. But if you goto the local office they can give you the rundown, including packages that include Speed and maybe DVR, like whitey said. ---

After two months call and bitch why your premium channels are so expensive, and say something like they were supposed to be half the price theyre charging you now for a year, not 2 months. They’ll cave in. Especially with FiOS Internet and TV becomming readily availlable in the next 2 months. ---

with the “silver” package. basically everything 1-200 then all the music and bullshit channels, and high speed internet. $80 bucks after tax, comcast. it was more at one time, but i bitched and moaned and told them i was looking at directTV and was gonna save alot of money with them so they “restructured” mine so i would stay.
