The only way to avoid them jacking your rates is to quit altogether. I finally got an old antennae and hooked it up. I get the networks and about a dozen religious channels. But hey, when I say "Nothing good is on" at least I know I'm not paying for it. I get the World Series, Super Bowl, Sunday Night Football, the only channel I truly miss is ESPN. Oh well, it increases my card budget

Our cable bill just passed $100 a month (Time Warner Cable of NYC) but that includes HBO. That means we spend $1200 a year to watch TV! Can't live with it, can't live without it. Everybody is strapped today but the cost of everything is going up.

And, unfortunately, the problem isn't limited to tv bills. As a retiree on a fixed income, the rising cost of living has caused me to pick up a teaching job, which all in all is probably not a bad thing.

I think I pay around $90 a month for the digital expanded tier(or whatever it's called) without the movie channels and my internet through Time Warner. I did get a letter the other day saying that prices would be going up, but it didn't say when or how much. It just said, I'd notice it in my bill when it happens. I don't really like the idea of being surprised with the hike whenever it ends up happening.

my new Verizon bill
I just read my new Verizon bill. They are charging me for the taxes they pay and also charging me taxes on my bill. I need that kind of billing situation.....I am sure they are regulated but it struck me as funny....

Little venting on a phone call I get from..
a fella who calls me up on the phone yesterday, while I was babysitting my niece. I don't usually pick up calls I do not recognize, just let them leave a message. But I had my hands full! So, I just picked up the phone and say hello... It takes a couple of seconds for him to answer, so I figure I am dealing with a telemarketer. Oh Lord! I'm stuck.
He says, "Hello Mr. Lane." I say, "Hi." Next he says, "Can I get your address or last four of your social security number to verify that you are Mr. Lane?" I asked, "Exactly who am I speaking with?" He said, "I need your social or address to tell you." lol. I said, "I just want to know what company you represent, you called me!" He says. "It is against Federal Law for me to tell you without verifying.." I just hung up the phone. I have no clue what that was about!! Breaking Federal Law! Last edited by Vol; 03-03-2011 at 12:36 PM.
