But we cut off our cable tv when the ripoff kapitalist crooks doubled the subscription fee,
Ha!
they said it would be $29 a month for somethhing like 200 channels, maybe it was 180.
true, it was $29 plus taxes and fees and such for a few months. then it quietly jumped to $86 as I recall.
doubled.
we reviewed what we were getting.
local TV we can get over the air for free.
plus,
about 50 foreign language channels, VietNamese, Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, Japanese, you name it...we don’t speak it....
and
about 50 shopping channels (the Big Suck Vacuum Cleaner Channel, the Bigger Suck Vac Cleaner Channel, the Cheapo Knives by the Hundreds - just don’t try to defend yourself with any of these crappy shivs...Channel. The Leftist Commie News Channel. The 24 hour Oprah BS channel. The used coins channel. The new coins channel. The Last Year’s Womens’ Clothing-that-didnt-sell Clearance Channel)
also, they took away the channel I was watching (college lectures).
SO, we told them to quit.
They kept sending the bills for months.
Finally, I did a little research and sent a registered letter to the personal residence of the CEO (Chief Extortion Officer) Presizent whatever of the El Ripoff Cable Works.
Problem solved, at long last.
We are not back to over-the-air TV.
48 channels mostly krap but at least we save $1000 every year this way.
we did lose History channel but I’d seen all their WW2 flicks ten times over, anyway. they keep repeating them.
