B@@ contract up soon thinking about switching

[mikepr]

Ok heres the deal..My cointract with b@@l is up in august (was for 3 years). Since then the price has skyrocketed. I live about 5 minutes from the U.S, acess for a postal box for 39 bucks a year, a wife form the U.S who still hjas her social security number. What else do I need to subscribe to d**H. Will they do a check pon my credit card and see its not U.S based?? Do I need a U.S telephone number (I dont plan on ordering anyting and I am only going to have one receiver)
Thanks in advance

Official line is that reciever must be in the US,... But I spoke with them and low subbed with them with just a US address, self installed and no SSN, by the way the SSN is a private affair to be used by You the government and you place of work, technically not allowed to be asked for, anyway they did not push me. There is a call back ( online ) that the operator will call you ( even in canada ) and will sub you right there ( since you will sub anyway ) Get a PVR and enjoy tv for a change.

IMHO

I have a few friends here in Canada who sub. And to get past the phone thing they subscribe to voip such as vonage. This way they have a US phone number and can still order ppv's.
cheers
