my wife called in December to check on a reduced rate as we were going to AZ for a couple of months, who ever she talked to said yes there is a program. My wife said good we want to go on it for Jan and feb. now the first of feb she sees that the billing is for the full amount so she calls and inquires what happened, the lady she talks to says she does see anything in file, really since they didn't carry out our request there would be nothing. SO she doesn't go back and adjust anything just starts from today when she call. absolutely pathetic business policy, so we are liars and it couldn't be their employee just forgot to do it

Cable One is the easier provider to deal with, the packages can seem like an affordable option but after all the fees the first bill surprises you. Most of their contracts are for two years and after the first year the deals that you enrolled with end and the price goes up, you are then locked into this price for a year. Eeek, I dont like contracts.
