In the pursuance to entice us into their cord - tether grasp , cable companies will come up with anything to win us over . But AT&T might have come to upon the first truly innovative mess : Broadband , plus HBO , and a year ’s subscription to Amazon Prime . For only $ 39 per month .
The closest one might come in to such a deal out there is what ’s being called a “ tightly fitting bundle , ” when cable providers hand over a streamlined selection of channels + HBO , which still runs about $ 50 a calendar month . AT&T ’s idea to throw Amazon Prime in there is a total wildcard , but it makes sense — in core this is a plan to get their original contentedness in front of the eyes of diehard HBO devotee . It ’s very , very impudent .
Yes , there ’s some ok print : The deal only survive a yr , at which point you ’ll start paying regular prices ( which suffice it to say are a portion more ) and switching provider can be a bitch ( as we know ) . There ’s also a one - time $ 99 instalment fee . Still this is probably less than you pay for just internet to be give up to your nursing home , and the 18MBps speed is not tough . And then you get Amazon Prime , plus your newly instated HBO Go powers ( Amazon Prime cost $ 99 a twelvemonth a la carte , and you ca n’t get HBO by itself anywhere ) . Imagine ! watch Boardwalk Empire anytime you please ! [ AT&TviaRe / Code ]
