“I turned off my Comcast TV because they keep driving the prices up and taking channels away and I got sick and tired of not being able watch TV stations that were once part of a standard cable package. “
Several decades ago a cable company stock prospectus said their business model guaranteed returns. They said they’d always have a proposal before the commission to raise rates. They published their prior results which were 100% approved. At the time basic cable was about $12. Their chart showed it going to $60/month over whatever the timeframe was. When my sister complains about her $100-plus cable bill I remind her that she invested in the company and his reaping returns.
I cut the cable 6 years ago. I cut the phone line 8 months ago with Ooma. Now I am Verizon's b#%£ch with FIOS Internet and my cell phone e bill.
