The house is totally, officially, technically ours!
The money has all gone through. All the paperwork is complete.
On to the important part - internet access!
I called today to set up cable and cable modem. We knew it wasn't going to be cheap, even with their introductory rate. We used to pay right around $100 for both services (and that was just basic digital cable, no frills). It was $85 for the first 6 months, then goes up to the regular rate of $95. Whew! Then he told me that he since we were installing both, he would give me 50% off of the internet installation. It would only be $50! Add that to the $42.95 they wanted to install the cable, and I told him i was going to check out DSL.
Because Rex works for SBC/AT&T and we're actually going to be living in an area they provide servce to, we're eligible for a discount. We weren't sure exactly how much the discount was, we weren't all that excited. I called and found out that they cover everything except the taxes for a phone line and the DSL! And we'll get a small discount on Dish Network, too.
What I didn't manage to do was get the electric turned on. I wonder if they work on the weekends...
