cable TV sucks

[Lao Tzu]

At least obtaining it through a land cable company does. $39 monthly for network & basic cable. For that kind of payment i could get directv's Total choice plus plan. network channels & 125 cable channels. Too bad i live in an apartment, perhaps i can hide a satellite dish in some kind of lawn ornament.

 

[Lao Tzu]

Don't you live in a house with other people (apartments usually won't let you install a satellite)? if so you could get dishnetwork or directv, if 2 or 3 people got in on it it would come out to about $14 a month each.


I think i sent you my addy, but i can send it again. check your mail.

we have digital cable here and it's fucking outrageous... with the internet and 4 ip addies along with the cable box rental and the cable modem rental we have to pay well over $100 a month... and if you cancel cable just to get the internet they fuck you because they don't give you the same discount as if you had cable so it costs about the same as having it... seriously i hope they call me back next week or at least cuddle with me...

You should buy a cable modem on ebay, it can save you $15-20 a month. They are only about $50 now

just play your dvd's or vhs tapes instead of the cable then.

my cable carrier, Time-Warner just raised their rate AGAIN. it went up $4 this january and is now about $49/month. they keep making excuses about all the new stations they add and the cost of programming.
