Re: install fees?
Those fees are rediculous. I moved into an apt they charged something like $25 to come out and hook up my apartment at the locked box in the back of the building. I got digital cable with a DVR. The guy even installed a new outlet on the other side of the main room since I had an attic access panel in my closet. Custom length cut wires and all with the really nice tight compression fittings that quality tools produce.
Heck when I downgrade during the summer, I turn in the DVR box at my local office, and they only charged $2 for a change of service fee, and they had to come out sometime and put a trap on my line to filter out expanded basic channels(sometime during the day, don't need to enter my apt)
You should only be paying somewhere around $30 or so for an install. If they really won't, ask them if you really have to tell them to just bring a plain 10 year old digital cable box out to save $ on the install fees, then go to the office yourself the next day(or 30 minutes after the install) and swap that box for a DVR? They'll be getting the same amount of money from you for monthly services, and you'll dislike them a whole lot less, if they would just bring a DVR box out for the install. |
