♦ So you’re feeling the heat of Fibrant’s price rise or you’ve recently felt envious toward your friends who are getting far better deals on their TV, VOIP phones, and internet. Or maybe you’re tired of being chumped for subpar service? Not having TV apps for your internet enabled devices (Smart phones, tablets, PC’s, Apple iPads, Apple computers and so forth.) so you can watch TV everywhere? Or you are paying outrageous prices for a $45 dollar Fibrant telephone when you could be paying mere peanuts or get Google Voice for FREE? And paying $37 for broadcast TV when you can watch it for FREE in a superior full screen 1080P with a cheapo TV antenna? Basically you don’t want to be victimized by Fibrant anymore. You’ve knocked on the right door.
Okay lets provide all the information you’d need to unsaddle from Fibrant and save big bucks.
Great deals are out there from all the private providers and most don’t have contracts or have the power to cut off your water if you’re a little late forking over for Fibrant on your utility bill.
To get great deals from Time Warner Cable, AT&T U-Verse, DirecTV, DISH, or all the great budget VOIP Phones (You can buy their inexpensive services, gadgets, and software in Walmart, Staples, Best Buy, Walgreens, Target, and Sam’s Club or on the internet) you best follow these simple rules:
• Never call Time Warner Cable, AT&T U-Verse, DirecTV, DISH, on the phone and ask for their current prices or for a deal. No-Never! You’ll likely get a rep quoting from a rate card and that won’t work out for you at all. The best deals are ALWAYS found on the provider’s website or in their advertising inserts (Tabloid size) that land in your mailbox. This is the universal rule for finding the best deals and it holds true all across the USA. These deals are for internet and TV.
• Avoid purchasing VOIP phone services from a TWC or AT&T U-Verse. While they are markedly cheaper than Fibrant’s grossly overpriced VOIP phone, the real kings of inexpensive and outstanding performance VOIP services are: MagickJack Plus, Google Voice (FREE), and Walmart’s BasicTalk VOIP (It’s actually Vonage wearing the Walmart brand). Ooma is outstanding for a business and maybe the best service out there–its a bit pricier than MagicJack Plus, Google Voice, and Walmart’s BasicTalk.
• If you want outstanding TV, but no longer want to pay for excessive cable or satellite TV bills from any provider, simply purchase a cheapo indoor TV antenna for broadcast TV and buy either a ROKU 3 or Apple TV. You get thousands of TV channels and access to a gazillion movies. These small IPTV devices hook into your TV and offer endless entertainment.
