Cable went up again for me!

Harrelson 69, are you not close enough to Verizon's CO for DSL?

Verizon DSL is not available in my area yet. They running the lines and are expected to ffer DSL and phone somtime after the new year. They are still waiting for City gov't approval for Fios Tv. I live in Marine Park, Brooklyn, NY.

[harshness]

With Direct tv ($75), AOL Dial Up ($25) and Verizon 2 phone lines(one for phone, one for dial up internet: over $100) total over $200. Cablevision 3 services toal $ 167. I'm still saving over $30!

If FIOS is coming, I'd assume that you've already got a high speed cable option. It costs me about $70 before taxes for lifeline cable and high speed Internet from Comcast plus VOIP service from ViaTalk. I can scarcely imagine having a voice line and can't imagine having a data line.

Then again the attraction to that train wreck otherwise known as AOL is obviously strong for people to be paying cable prices (including the cost of a dedicated land line) for 1/100th the speed.

My bill went up $13 $5 for Silver Package, $5 reduction in Reward Discount and $3 for cable cards
($.075 x 4 or $1.25 to $2 per card).

Oh thank you Great Dolans for not raising the OV/OL price as stated in the slip of paper advising of the price increase. But if you are lowering the discount for all three services by $5 wouldn't that be an increase in OV/OL??

I'm thinking of droping Silver, don't watch that much HBO but hey they'll charge me $5 to make the change too.

Well my water company just got state aprroval to raise my rate by 33%. Do you want to talk about electric and natural gas prices too?

Can you believe the crap, I'm right off long ridge... 33% ? FOR WHAT!

At least the power and water don't shut down for no reason and pixelate.

Right, the power has never gone out and there has never been a water main break.

Nope they do not charge you to make changes to your package as long as a truck roll is not required.
