So what are the “fees” for ?

Is it anything like Today when I called the Internet Co. about the $59.99 .net/phone package E-Mail and was told I have a better deal now with the same package for $54.99.

I said “Then why am I paying $100.00 for $54.99 service”?

The Lady said “no Sir, you are paying $54.99 for it.”

I said “No I’m paying $100.00 for it.”

She replies “no Sir, you pay $54.99 for .net, $10.00 for modem, and the rest is taxes and fees.”

I again said “I’m paying $100.00 for it. So it’s like the Girl with the Lemonade Stand with $.25 Lemonade and it costs $2.00 with taxes and fees.”

Again “No Sir”

I said “So we’re still paying for the War of 1812.”

I then hung up.

Your posts is exactly why we cut our Infinity Cable, except our new bill would have been over $255/month. To get this special great rate, they had thrown in HBO/Showtime and 4 other premium channels that we never watched.

I used to be able to get them to lower our rate as a “Senior Citizen”. That stopped last year, and I talked to a clone, of the clone you talked to.

We went to Comcast business and pay $105/month for a high speed internet and two phones, and that includes the taxes.

Our Sling TV costs about $40/month and that will go back to the lower price. We opted for a higher Sling Cost so my wife could get ABC and the Kelly show.

She told me to go back to the basic Sling package as the Kelly show is now just a stage for liberal actors, actresses, singers, ??? and rectums from CNN.
