I just opened my cable tv bill today. It went up about $2.00, So how much more these clowns going to soak the public? They are taking channels away, giving
the viewer less for what you pay for.The State Dept of Utilities let them get away with it, like the gas and the electric conpany,I see Corruption, Payoffs happening here.Thats my opinion..

I think the expanded (regular) basic cable here is $52 now. THAT, is ridiculous! One of these days, I'm going to go to dish. My aunt has almost exactly the same programming, and pays $34 for it.

I was shocked when I priced cable. I decided to get it when I moved to Colorado until I saw how expensive it's become.

I thought (wrongly) that it would get cheaper over time, but it's just getting more expensive. So I'm still without cable...oh and I HATE the low intro rate then they totally jack up your price.

It's like a big F**K you to loyal customers...cable companies do ****ty business IMO, so until further notice, I'm without cable.

my current DishNetwork bill arrived today, it went up from $75.43 to $84 starting this month. But that's alright since I have 250 channels including 8 HBO.

Still cheaper than the joke that was my local cable system, which we paid $55 for about 40 channels (We also get hosed for the local internet access $34.95 a month)
