You don't come around here very often do you? :)

The price increase blows, other than cancel or lower your package there isn't much you can do.

Talk with customer service, and see if you can get a discount.

Otherwise, do what I did: re-examine your bill. You might find things on there you do not really want/need.

CS offered $50/mo discount for a year + HBO and skinemax.

We cut them off anyway. The decision had been made.

Call to cancel and see what they offer you.

Dish is a hard negotiater with the channel suppliers, but raise their rate the same as all the cable companies and Direct. What are they doing with all that money that they saved? Oh, lining Charlie's pockets with more money. Just what is he doing with it. He already has 16 billion?

That simply is not true. They do not go up as much, or at the least do not always go up as much. Time Warner raised rates much more, Direct TV raised rates more. And DISH has more "loss leader" or much less profit alternatives.
For some Cable companies I challenge to find out what their rates with equipment is with certainty. I walked into the Charter office just before Winter to get the cost for my elderly neighbor and it was like a chess game. Every move I made to see how to lower the cost was met with a higher cost alternative. I'm not sure but I think she and I lost. :)
