Entering a new U-verse
By now, you’ve heard of Mama Bell’s upgrade to DSL called U-Verse. I-verse must have been taken. I had originally called AT&T to downgrade from Comcast cable to Yahoo! DSL in order to save $350 a year, but the salesman said there was a $150 cash back rebate for new subscribers to U-verse–without a contract. That was too good to resist. so I’m not paying five dollars more per month than cable internet for a slower connection of 1.5Mbps, but with $150 in my pocket. After all, I can always cancel and go back to cable for a $30 installation.
As a side note, they always ask me how much TV I watch–which I chuckle at and say, “I can’t remember the last time I watched TV and when I do it’s usually C-SPAN/Book-TV.”
On a separate note, I just got this notice today. E-trade is running a promotion on their savings accounts $25 bonus on new accounts with a deposit of $1. I love getting mail. . .
