Stan> Hello.
Stan> Thank you for providing your name. How may I assist you today?
Mark> I currently pay $114.64 a month for my time warner bill, and my introductory offer is about to expire, so I am trying to figure out what my bill will be after the expiration
Mark> I received a letter in the mail saying I could get digital cable and Road Runner for $94.95 a month, for 12 months, but I also have a DVR and remote, so I wanted to find the total cost to me once this happens
Mark> The last analyst told me $122.59 without the DVR, and $142.53 with the DVR, but I don’t think that took into account this offer I received in the mail.
Stan> I understand that you are an existing customer of Time Warner Cable and would like to know to figure out what your bill will be after the experiation. Is that correct?
Mark> yes, that is correct
Stan> Sure, I will be glad to assist you.
