| 説明 | For the last 25 years, Comcast (and Chicago Cable TV before them) were a monthly expense. Not huge, but an expense.Then, they got greedy. For the last five years, I've been steadily cutting back service, but the price would creep right back up again. On my last monthly bill, I paid $91.00 for basic cable, only 7 dollars less than what I was paying for Digital Preferred with HBO, Showtime, and the printed cable guide at the beginning of 2008. They even started charging me $2.00 apiece per month for their two supplied analog converters!Funny thing. The last few years, there were never any deals or discounts when I would call to check. When I called this morning to cancel, suddenly the 6-month discount packages came out of the woodwork. "We don't tell everyone about these." Well, why not? Put them on the damn rate sheet! Let customers compare! Long story short: I cancelled anyway. And the digital-analog converter I bought works just fine, and will pay for itself in a little over a year. Tom Skilling pointing at winter storms is as sharp and clear as he was on cable. And once again, watching TV costs what it cost for the first 31 years of my life, which was -- nothing.If Comcast has enough money to buy NBC, they'll do just fine without me. And for Lent, except for the 5:30 and 10:00 news, I can do just fine without being glued to the tube. (I'll make a big exception for the Daytona 500. A man's gotta have his motorsports. Yee-haw.) |
