What is the catch on the offer to save on my internet
I received a letter from Cox saying I could save on my current speed $80 for 2 years or upgraded speed for $60 for 2 years. I currently pay $90. What is the catch?

If I understand Her correctly ! She got the Same letter I got from Cox Saying: If I wanted a two year deal for about a penny more I could have it. If I wanted to go up to the next level speed I could lock it in for X dollars more and lock it in for two years all Deals with Unlimited Data. I am say that if She had a previous deal from cox that this one from cox would override it. I THINK !

The catch is usually the early termination fee(ETF). Putting you in a contract means they get money from you for 2 years. Not sure why faster speed would be cheaper though. Would need to see the details of the deal exactly.

No. It means if you cancel before the 2 year contract is up, you get charged all/some of the ETF. I think they have a rolling ETF that gets less depending on how much time in the contract is left. See here for more info. The price will go up after the contract though. What it goes to depends on the general pricing at the time.

No. It just means if you were under contract on a previous deal you could have to pay a ETF. I don't see them doing that, it would be the ultimate Bad Business Move. That would not be very good from any outside Business Rating company.

You are so right WMO, no disagreement here . I was just making reference to it being inside the same company, and their the ones that made the offer. I could be wrong, but that would just look like a set-up. By the way I am a WMO Fan .
