Hah!I laugh in your cable companies general direction.
I pay 80 bucks a month for EVERY analog and digital channel
and it also includes my high speed connection : )
Not that I'd rub it in or anything....
Check into packages that are not advertised by your cable company.

We have lived in my house for almost 18 years. the first few years we didn;t have cable at all.

In the late 80s, it arrived. (Heritage was the cable company's name)

In the mid-90s, the cable company got sold to TCI and the cable systems were not upgraded to anything resembling what many communities offered.

Around 2000 or so, AT&T bought the system, and didn't do much except bank the money and keep the boat afloat.

Recently, AT&T Broadband sold its cable group ,etc to ComCast. In the last 2 months and most recently the last 2 weeks, there is unprecedented activity in my general neighborhood, and with any luck at all, we may have a fiber optic connection by year's end or by early next year.

I will be more then happy to pony up for enhanced services if and when it gets here.

But , I agree, it does pay to shop around.
