Would that be the time of the quarter?

Would that be the time of the quarter?

Not at all, using the wording that Bruce used. He said it is that time of the month for publishing quarterly reports. He is referring to the last part of the month following a quarter.

Prefer time of the month, trying to inject a little bit of humor into the post, since so many supporters of Traditional Providers take it so seriously.

Total lost for the year…..1,583,000.

They may take these reports seriously, but I don't take anyone seriously who brag about getting their tv only bill "down" to $150/month. LOL

Well I noticed on my Spectrum bill that they are still finding ways to make more money. I had a 12 month promotion for internet 300 speed for $63. 60 a month. That was in May and I saw my bill go up by $2.00, because they started charging for Wifi tower we have at $5.00 and that was in July and our speed went to 500. Then by fall it went up to $7.00 for the same tower. This month for February they went up another $3.00 to $10.00 for Wifi. I get a $5.00 discount for autopay. But now my bill is at $68.36 and now my speed is at 600 and supposedly no extra increase. Right......But without the wifi tower we would have trouble having everything connected to the internet and it does reach through out the house and even the yard . But sneaky the way they keep passing on these charges when the whole reason I set up the promotion was to save money.

Just buy a router if you want to avoid the charge, at $10 a month, it would be quickly paid off.

My modem ( the ones Charter provided was garbage) and have 4 routers, all owned by myself.

Verizon charges me $28/month for my router, which I replaced without telling them. Then they subtract $28 as a modem credit. So I’d gain nothing by telling them.
