I got a good intro deal, in my opinion. It was the 3 year price lock deal. I got the deal plus a Hopper 3 upgrade at no charge. I moved from Directv because the cost there kept going up. I at least know what I will be paying for the next 2-3 years (the price lock is for 3 years, but am only committed to 2 years).
That was an excellent promo, I had forgotten about that 1.
Imo this new flex promo is targeting the lower end and doesn't leave as much wiggle room for discounts.
