What about satellite and fibers?

I have to use cable for its Internet due to no DSL (20+K ft. to CO), fiber (damn Verizon and Google, come to my homes), etc.

Whatever, OTA (over the air) FTW (for the win).

Is that really legal? Can they not be done for price fixing?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Oligobble. Great portmanteau.

Lol...

I think we might work for the same one...

On a different note, when you see what the Broadcasters charge the Providers to carry one of their channels (*cough* espn *cough*) you begin to understand why the service is so damn expensive, and sadly the broadcasters often have the providers by the balls as far as packaging and pricing goes. Not like a provider can afford to drop a channel (*cough* espn *cough*) and watch subscribers flock to the ones that do carry the channel.

Sadly, I expect more of this as the economy gets worse.

Eff that noise. I neither watch TV or even have it hooked up to cable, but still have to pay for a cable (package) to get decent internet where I live or pay (inexplicably) more. This, and having to renegotiate my bill every year (for the latest contract deals) to pay a less-unreasonable price drives me up the wall.

Life: You won't like it and there's no other op -- BULLET IN MY FUCKING HEAD.

I've never seen so much honesty in my life.

You pay more because the cost to support your service (print and process bill, troubleshoot issues, maintaining infrastructure, etc) is paid for once so when the bundle services you don't really have to pay for it twice. People make a big deal out of bundling as if it is some sort of scam, but honestly it makes sense to lower rates for having multiple products. As for restructuring your package yearly, you have another option: order what you can afford without the promotion pricing. If its too expensive without the promotions then why are you adding more to your bill and then calling to get it back under control when its off promotion? If your argument is you want everything you can get for your money, then your like everyone else, you're completely normal, and that means you get to negotiate pricing to try to get another special deal instead of the normal price.
