Is there any way to commit to a long term contract and possibly avoid all of this BS?
Yeah, the online access fee is the kicker for me. I stream sirius at my desk.
Grr.
I got the Lifetime for $299 (5 years ago) wonder how long that will last
I got a new car with a free trial of Sirius in 2007. Last spring, the free trial ended and I was forced to listen to Terrestrial Radio. I tried to survive without it, but it didn't last 10 days. I'm now a happy paying sub.
Prices for all services are expected. Electricity, Gas, Cable, Satellite TV, etc. It happens. I'll continue to pay for Sirius, despite the price raise.
