Consumer Alert: AT&T Bundle
Have you noticed the new AT&T boxes popping up everywhere? These big refrigerator looking structures are now enabling cable service. If you are in the market to switch to the new AT&T cable service, read between the lines. Some friends of mine just purchased the new bundle that included telephone, internet, and cable, however they got blindsided. Consumer tip: Make sure you read the fine print and ask the right questions before you sign-up for any service.
My friends already had AT&T for telephone and used TIME Warner for cable/Internet. Here’s what happened when they switched (good and bad):
- Landline telephone service became Internet telephone
- Need to buy special box for each TV
- More channels than old service
- Faster connection speed
- Paying about same price
AT&T didn’t tell my friends about the extra boxes and downgrade to Internet telephone, so be aware consumers.
Do you have a similair story to tell?
