Xfinity in Little Rock with locals only is $12.80 and you get WGN from Chicago with that (no ESPN). For $30 I can get that channel line-up plus internet access and an intro subscription to HBO and HBOGO. With Aero I still have to pay for an internet provider.
Aero can talk about being local market only but the truth is most people can't save enough on Aero to make it competitive with Cable/Sat for there to be a lucrative market, unless people are buying out-of-market content on the sly.
That's an unreal deal. With TWC, It is $79.99 for local channels, internet access, and HBO.
New customer only deal and after 12 months it goes to $70.
Don't you love those deals? A few busy months and you don't realize you are paying $70 for basic access.
In my area on the East Coast here are my prices...
Limited Basic 18.68 (OTA, HD, WGN)
Digital Economy (OTA, HD, WGN, CNN, Disney)
12 month price (29.95)
Digital Starter (OTA, HD, WGN, CNN, Disney, ESPN2, TBS, NBC Sports)
12 month price (49.95)
+12 months (55.00 to 70.00)
Digital Preferred (OTA, HD, WGN, CNN, Disney, ESPN2, TBS, NBC Sports, NFL Network, CBS Sports, ESPNU)
12 month price (59.95)
+12 months (73.00 to 86.00)
Digital Premier (OTA, HD, WGN, CNN, Disney, ESPN2, TBS, NBC Sports, NFL Network, CBS Sports, ESPNU, HBO, Showtime, Cinemax)
12 month price (69.95)
+12 months (98.00 to 140.00)
Double Play (Internet & TV)
Digital Starter & Internet 79.99
+12 months (97.95 to 121.95)
Digital Preferred & Internet 89.99
+12 months (109.00)
+24 months (144.95 to 158.95)
If you want Internet & a TV package that has ESPNU and CBS Sports once the promotional pricing ends its 158.95 base plus another 20% in taxes and fees puts you at $190.74. This is without even having premium movie channels or home phone.
