OMG I could save if I bundle my services!?

Really? Yeah you bet!

I usually just toss that junk snailmail from the cable/phone company, but this time, they made me a special deal with part of my name in the url! We'll call this company pomcast (no disrespect to the real pomcast.com). I couldn't resist.

Something like http://www.mypomcastsavings.com/MYNAMEHERE0321... (like that sort of dynamic url has never been done before. dumbskys).

So in my clicking around the site specifically made for me and all my bundled needs, i noticed a nifty little savings calculator!

Since I don't have cable (minus the ~8 channels that comes with my internet), I entered $59.00 for internet and $0.00 for telephone (mobile phone is all I need)...

And look at my savings...




that's right, $-7.00. I would have the amazing privilege of paying them more per month for a service completely useless to me! HOT.

Not a terribly great marketing tactic.
