So, okay....WHERE'S THE STORY??? Only thing here is the headlines.

Good article, I suppose, but...where is it?

I guess the headline is supposed to say it all...

Best reporting in years. Keep up the good work.

Great response!

Hi everyone,

Very funny theories about why this article only had a headline.

In reality, it was just a glitch with the way articles that appear in the print edition are loaded onto the Web site. I assure you there is a whole article to go with the headline and it's on here now.

The Brighthouse bundle of phone/internet/TV gives me service levels that I cannot get from any other provider at a price that is lower than any other provider. Brighthouse Networks is one of the best things about living in Central Florida.

You can't amoritize a decision to save money by foregoing a captial outlay and include it as "savings". So your example should be trimmed to just $70 in monthly savings, because to say the guy will "save" $83 a month because he chose not to spend $1,000 is misleading.

That's like saying that I'm going to "save" $10,000 a month by not buying that Ferrari

It's gonna get a lot worse boys and girls. You may have to go back to the old analog TV's with the rabbit ears. Oh! you will need a converter box for that. Sounds like a Communist government plot to keep all news and other information out of the public eyes and ears unless it's spouting the party line. Welcome to the Socialist Republic of America.

Why all the gloom. Spread the wealth to those who have less

Last month, I called Bright House and told them I had to scale back. I cancelled my digital cable service, turned in my beloved DVR :*( and switched from standard high-speed Internet to the light version. You know what? It's just fine. I thought I would really, really miss these services, but I don't. I actually prefer now to catch up on the few TV shows I like by watching them on the Web. The light version of Internet service is perfectly acceptable. It's tough watching standard definition TV on my beautiful high-def TV set, but it's worth it. I'm saving about $100 a month!

I I am sorry, but with a newborn and all who needs an I phone. I had a brand new cell phone in April. When I was hospitalized for 9 days, and being on disability at $969.00 I cancelled the phone asap.

I am sorry but there is more these people can do to save even more money for isntance buy a used computer, or get a baisc cell phone.
I don't miss mine at all. Remember what did we do before them, nothing. Nothis is that important that it can't wait.

To clarify:

Thankfully, the iPhone was a birthday present from my entire family and co-workers, so I only had to invest about $20 of my own money.

As the story states, my computer is 7 years old - I am only purchasing small hardware upgrades.

Thank you, was thinking the exact same thing!!

I hope by now that you have found "the whole story".
Look at the center of the page, and to the right of the headline where it says "read story".
click on it and presto.. you got it.
