Have AT&T Unlimited wireless plan, get HBO for free

[SpaethCo]

I just saw the commercial ... never said anything about new or returning subs that I saw...
Looked like you get HBO and Cinemax for $15.99 for 12 months ... (offer ends end of the month, if i read it correct)

So you're seeing the same thing we're seeing.

Now try and buy it.

Welcome to the new and "improved" DirecT&T.

They've been advertising various iterations of this combo since December. There's a topic "HBO New Offer" on the other site talking about it.

Based on this pattern, they are advertising a combo package (HBO/Cinemax) via their own ad insertions that customers can't sign up for. I don't get it.

Ya, she couldn't understand it either, apparently these different kind of offers show up on your account as options when they are available ...
I think yesterday is the first time I've seen them on the TV.

I'd like to see it come on again.

So thats good thru the end of the year.
Hopefully those that actually turn this stuff on and off have this info finally.

Yes, there's an Unlimited Choice. Still get the 22GB of data before possible throttling but you are limited to 3MB connection speed, no hot spot capability standard def video at 1.5Mbps are a few of the differences I see, besides costing less.

Those restrictions are for the wireless phone. Each tablet you register (maybe there's a limit on how many) gets its own data count and if you're on Unlimited Plus on your wireless phone, they call it Unlimited but also have '1 GB' per month and the speed you get is normal. Am on the 50 plan for Internet and get that on the laptop (burst mode 866.5Mbps but of course capped at about 50 Mbps, and on my 4 year old tablet it's 300Mbps, usually. Also, it's in HD. I really don't use the phone for heavy duty Net streaming but one thing I like is that this plan comes with 10GB Internet Sharing or hotspot - useful when the power goes out in our neighborhood.

This also -- at least for the current 2-yr plan I'm on (Directv/Internet/Landline) -- comes with a $25 discount off Directv "for life" when you're on the Unlimited Plus plan. So the total cost for the 3-feature-combo per month here is now $65/mo for "Select" plan of about 150 channels. It costs more for the premium sports channels though.

I got the add in the mail for the Add Direct TV and ATT internet for $55 per month fro wireless plus customers. In the fine print at the bottom of the page it says (as best as I can read the very small print) that the credited discounts do do start until after billings 1-3. So, I assume since they run 24 months that they will run 24 months after the 3rd billing and the first three billings do not count toward your discounts.
