Potomac, MD | Naa not that kind of rate increase. You know the Corp transition fee or whatever they are gunna call it. I wonder how much they will hit us for. I just see something like that coming. |

| Gone are the old days
Remember when satellite advertised every time cable had a rate increase how they were cheaper than cable? Remember the old days when directv did not have a rate hike for 6 years? Exactly why I kicked them to the curb and watch TV shows on the internet for free. Tired of paying $50 a month for access to more commercials. |

| It Can Be Cheaper
Call them and negotiate a better deal so it is cheaper than cable. I have, for the past five years, not paid a single "mirroring fee" because each and every time they try to pull the discount, I threaten to leave for cable.
Whatever the best deal is for your local cable company is, DirecTV will beat it. If you don't have cable, fake it. |

@pacbell.net | Yes, Rates Are Going Up
I just got a notice in the mail. Unless you are locked into a current contract. Then, after the contract they will go up. |

Re: It Can Be Cheaper
yea I have to agree with you. I am on my first run with direct. My favorite part is when dish or cable after you leave call and have a special deal for you to come back. I always tell them maybe next year when the low price contract is over. I will have to see which service wants to give me the best price for the year. I can't speak for the rest of you but to me the available channels on dish, direct, and cable are all about the same. |

Not me. I have better service from a locally owned ISP now, at 4 times the DL speed.  |
