Boston – August 8, 2012 – RCN Boston announced today that it has launched a back-to-school campaign centered around the popular HBO program Game of Thrones to entice returning college students and others to sign up for RCN services.  RCN is offering new customers a package that includes 50 Mbps high-speed Internet, TiVo Premiere Q and all equipment included with no contract for $79.99 per month.    

“We’re excited when the college students return to the Boston area so we have put together an attractive deal for them that suits their lifestyle,” said Jeff Carlson, RCN Boston Vice President and General Manager.  “We have lightning fast Internet, and the best entertainment experience with the TiVo Premiere Q so that roommates can watch and record multiple programs at once, all for an affordable price.”
