Comcast is ~$56/month plus installation fees. You dont get a free DVR either. 🙁



When i called them, the package was 45/month. What channels does your package include?

its 34.99 for the america top 60 plus local channels and I got the DVR recorder service for 5.98/month. so my bill is around 41/month

For some reason it is a little cheaper through www.bestpriceconnect.com. If you go through www.dishnetwork they charge you $5 for the local channels. I dont know why.

I'll be coming in on Saturday...Vox or anyone, I will definitely be ready to rock n' roll that night...anyone down?

Also, anyone have any suggestions on which company to go with for cable and internet? Thanks.


directtv 155 channels plus local, free equipment, 45/month, DVR 6 a month, plus free DVR recorde with rebate.

At&T- Collage packages-phone and internet
34-45 range, for speend 1.5 mbps-6.0 mbps respectively
40 phone installation, free internet, get a modem and router for 70, and they give you a 50 dollar rebate.

Comcast-120 channels is 57/month-14 installation
Package with internet is 20/month for first four months,then 42/month 50-instlallation 3/month to lease modem, DVR 10 a month, internet speed is 6.0 mbps, (equivlaent speed to the $45 AT&T deal)

Comcast phone, net and cable, 100 month (separate deal)


Right now the cheapest combination seems to be AT&T cheapest DSL 34/month, plus directTV total choice cable plan 45month.




Good luck, sorry if its confusing

I've always been partial to battle mode, not many others seem to be

The battle mode is fun, but I think I like the normal mode best
 
Hey all,...I was going to read the entire thread before saying anything but Jeeze! Way to go whomever started this.

I'll be joining all of your sorry asses in school this fall..., I say it like that because I know we are all excited in are own ignorant little way.

Me? I'm Jeremy I live in Pleasant Prairie (kenosha) WI, with my wife. We are both starting Med school this fall and she is going to MCW (milwaukee) and I'll be at CCOM....so Kenosha is our middle ground. :scared: I figure it'll be just over an hour commute. Did someone say 7:30 exams!? man...this will be a rough two years. I do have a highschool friend with a condo near campus that I will stay with once a week to avoid the drive and early morning goodness, but all in all I better get comfortable in this bent over (grabbing my ankles) position.

P.S. There is no other mode other than battle mode.

P.P.S. Any Serious Runners/Bikers here?

the gym sucks.

Downers Grove Parks and rec fitness center is 20/month for students.


I was there last year. Im at the brand new XSport this year.
 
I'm a pretty serious runner, usually run 4.5miles a day. I just moved into a condo in Wheaton and have been running on the sidewalks. If anyone needs a running partner or knows any good running trails around Wheaton let me know!!

Not much of a runner here, but I'm big into 12 oz curls.
 
i'm moving on campus on monday. as soon as i get my address, i'm having my n64 sent with smash brothers and mario tennis. (my car was much too packed to fit that in.. it was a sad choice i had to make) i will have 4 controllers.

can't go wrong with smash brothers.
 
All good choices- smash bros is sweet, as is mario kart and mario tennis for 64- any love for goldeneye? One of the great multiplayer games of all time- i have that as well.
 
Hello again ladies and gentelmen... its been sometime since I last posted on your thread, things have definately picked up! I couldnt help but chime in on the videogame discussion goin on. Mariocart, of any genre is pretty sweet although I myself prefer Gamecubes version. I got dibs on my boi Yoshi! As for multiplayer 1st person shooters, it gets no better than Halo 2!!! Dont even get me started on Super Street Fighter Turbo!!!!!!!!! My Hwuyukin/Hadukin combo will have you dazed and seein lil yellow birdies!!

So me and my roommate just bought a kegerator. Right now all we need is a filled co2 tank. Does anyone know a place that we can get them in this area?!?!?!?
 
Vox, my man, I just got your message about 10 minutes ago. i got pretty plowed last night. I hope all went well and I'll definitely take a rain check.
 
One day down, ~1460 to go.

Not much happening on this thread for awhile... are you people busy or what?

Hi, I will be an MS-1 starting this summer and recently have begun apartment hunting with my roommate. We are hoping to get information from upperclassmen about some of the places we liked. We like Clover Creek and Courts of the Falling Waters the best, and we are also interested in Westmore and Surrey Place. We are particularly looking for information on the commute from these locations to campus, so if any of you live in one of these places could you please post information? We would greatly appreciate it, thanks!
