Surprisingly, AT&T had sales representatives going door to door in my neighborhood. They informed me that new fiber optic lines were installed in my neighbor hood and they can offer TV and faster internet now. There is a promotion going on and I was able to sign up for service that gives me more channels, better DVR equipment, and a dedicated internet line for much less then I am paying now. Having a new daughter, I am looking for any way to save money. Getting more is just a pleasant bonus. You could say that I am the budget cable buyer. Coincidentally, NVIDIA has released the GTX 650Ti line aimed at the budget gamer looking to pay less, and get more.
