My cable bill which is basic tv, internet up to 50mbps, phone with unlimited long distance its about 150 a month but that was when I chose to lock into a price lock for 2 years after that they tried to raise my rates up to almost 200, I went in and cut loose on them telling wait a minute if rates raise its only 3 bucks for internet and 3 for tv so thats only a 6 dollar increase not near 50 where did you get your figures if this is the case then i am going to drop and change some things. She oh I can give you a one time good for a year 50 dollar courtsey fee, drops my bill down to about 130 since I have a dvr box, which can live with that but need to take that box back and tell them to keep it, only reason still had it was on screen tv guide but can use tvguide.com site to look up whats on.
I refuse to have at&t they cram your bill too much and are more than what my cable company is, direct or dish forget it, I got tire of the wind blowing right loose signal, drizzle loose signal sneeze loose signal. So for now I am sticking with my local cable company, I would love to have a cable bill for 50 bucks a month.
I wish we could pick and choose what channels to keep and pay per channel or how many we have its all about the tv now a days, they want to give you 200 channels the whole 9 yards, who has time to watch 200 channels of nothing, I can do that without cable.
