How much was your cable deposit?
I'm moving to a new place (still in NJ) June 1 with some friends. Each person has one bill in their name-the girl I'm replacing had the cable/internet bill. I do have some back bills/debt I'm paying off, so I figure I will end up with a deposit to set up in my name. Just looking for an estimate on how much people have paid for a cable deposit, so I can put it aside. Couple hundred? More?
Re: How much was your cable deposit?
mine was a 60 dollar deposit, and then something like another 100 for the modem, taxes and installation fees.

$0 and i have a Ch7 bk
This is with Comcast - Id guess the different companies have different policies.

Nada.
And don't rent the cable modem, you can easily buy one at Best Buy for like $40 instead of paying the $15 rental fee.
Re: How much was your cable deposit?
Ours was no deposit. We have Comcrap as well. Depends on the cable service.

Ours is Optimum Online. Nice to see a lot of no deposits! Freaking Verizon cellphone was $400.

Verizon wanted $1000 from me to get a cell phone. I went to Cingular and had a $0 deposit.
There seems to be no rhyme or reason to some deposits...

See if you can use a Terayon cable modem. If so, you can have mine.

Mine was $150 for phone, cable and internet with crappy credit.

fuckers.
I think I've paid 40 or 50 before. This time around I wasn't asked for a deposit.

For real. Why the hell would I give them $1,000 for a deposit when theres dozens of other phone companies I can get a cell from. Theyre just idiots I guess...
Re: How much was your cable deposit?
What I don't get is that I paid a $150 deposit for a service that costs about $120 bucks a month (internet, phone and cable), and one day I called about their $50 a month cell phone plans and they said they'd need a $700 deposit. Ugh, illogical much?

Yeah that's why I figured it would be a lot now. I haven't had cable in my name in NJ in a while.

I don't think I had to pay a deposit for cable, but I could be wrong.
Re: How much was your cable deposit?
time warner. $0.
however... my friend has horrible credit and had to pay some kind of deposit. i want to say it was around $100.
Re: How much was your cable deposit?
Nothing.
Though when a time I had no credit I had to pay a $150 fee before I got my first cell phone.
