Cable Companies

Yes, by the very nature of my title you can already see I am going to vent and vent good.........

My three tier package combo expired on the 11th. Now.........to KEEP that same package (basic cable, phone and Internet) I would have to pay $20.00 more.

I was like WTF?????????

So, the gracious customer that I am I asked what else was out there (to rip off consumers like myself).

My provider currently has a promo going on where I would pay $13.00 more to have HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, etc etc...so I had to choose between paying more for what I HAVE or fork out additional $$$$ (but receive less) for a well-rounded package.

Guess which one I took.

Thankfully I get a pay raise in July. I will also be changing health insurances whereupon that alone will save me $100/month read $1,000 a year.

Looks like it will go towards cable. (Man...am I addicted or what????????)

SIGH!
