Anyone have luck getting discounts/deals with WoW?

I am moving to a new place, and unfortunately the ONLY provider that services the place is WideOpenWest here in Columbus Ohio. I asked what the cost would be to do a package with Internet, one HD receiver for my living room, one CableCard for my Tivo, and the basic HD channel package, and they basically said it's $90 a month, and they are making you pay for Starz because it comes on their HD tier. I called twice and talked to two people, and they told me they "never do promotions or negotiate prices."

Have any of you guys had success getting and special prices or packages with them, or do you know of a way to? $90 is getting up there...where I am at now we pay TWC $75 for HD channels, 6MB internet, one DVR, one cablecard, plus they threw in Showtime for a year. Seems like this company is a rip off.

a few years back my brother talked to wow and tw and they BOTH negotiated pricing. He would keep calling back and saying the other offered me this price, can you beat that? and he ended up going with TW becuase they gave him the best price. But WoW should be able to negotiate pricing.
I saw TWs new deal (well it ended sunday, it may still be available) was digital cable plus free hd +DVR + road runner turbo (22Mbps) for $79 for 1 year + free showtime and cinemax for 6 months.

I had WOW cable a year ago, when I ordered it I told them I had`a couple of choices where I lived as was checking prices. Without asking for anything they waived the cable card fee, install free and gave me the HD pack and encore channrls for free. The problem I had with them was getting someone competent to show up and install a cable card, after 2 no-shows and 1 showed up but with a cable box in his hand instead of a cable card, finally a service technician showed up one night and got everything working in about 30 minutes. They gave me another $10 a month off my bill for a year for the problems.

The best thing about WOW was they didn't use SDV and said they had no plans to, and they didn't copy flag anything not even the premium channels (HBO, etc.) which made MRV really nice.

I've had Wow for a couple of years now and I've been very happy. They haven't raised my bill once even as they've added HD and doubled my Internet speed. I've always thought of it as throwing in Starz for free since I'm paying less than I was when I had DirecTV without it.

Honestly, I'd pay an extra $15 over TWC not to have to deal with tuning resolvers (or TWC in general, for that matter).

Yeah I admit the no SDV is nice, but man I just cringe at the $100 a month bill when I see the TWC promotions like Showtime, DVR & RoadRunner Turbo for $79 a month =(
