Honestly, I cannot tell what's going to happen. I don't know if my dad is willing to continue paying for this with the money being so tight. Of course, dial-up is no option; You have no idea the hell I went through AND the hell I made my family go through because of dial-up.
I'll try to post updates throughout the day.

Looks like the Reenee is about to go out. Should have gotten a longer contract.

We save $20 a month or something. | |

Okay, so here's how it goes:
Apparently these cheap $13 and $18 services are just 1-year promos for new customers. After the first year, they hit you with double the price even if it's another contract term. Apparently the 1-year stuffs don't make money for the ISPs. =\ Great.
I found another ISP which costs $13 and is essentially the same service but from what I'm seeing at broadbandreports.com, that would be my last one in reserve. Whoop-de-doo.
So today I gotta close the account so I don't get fucked even if the next bill cycle isn't for another 10 days. I'm also hoping to nab a work study job at college and set aside some money to prepare myself to pay the halfs. :P
I'd appreciate it if someone doesn't mind lending me their account info for a few days so I can order the other service in a few days.
Cable service looks outrageously pricey. And it almost looks like Comcast would be my only option. XP | |
