Although this deal (per the previous message) does not include FL, I'm sure
their marketing strategy is similar. My parents just got their bundled home
service (phone/internet/cable) for $99/month, but this is just an
introductory offer good for only a few months, a year at the most. their
small print explicitly states that the cost WILL increase when the
introductory rate expires. They just don't tell HOW MUCH MORE. Cute.
That said, $65 is a great deal for however long it lasts.
