Fact is fact

The hard fact is that I'm getting less and paying more. Comcast continues to reduce the number of channels I receive, yet increases the price of my package. So, I pay more money for less content. In order to get the channels I used to receive, I would have to upgrade to a higher priced package and pay an additional fee for a box rental.

So, currently it is more money for less service. There is no valid dispute to that.

Re: Fact is fact

Just to put this in perspective: In 1984, when Cablevision went into service in Boston, basic cable was $2/month, the cable channels had NO commercials, and MTV actually played music videos! Adding HBO, in 1985, pushed the bill up to (God help us!) about $7/month!

Even when I last had cable about 10 years ago, the only channels I liked to watch (not including the locals) were Sci-Fi, TV Land, MuchMusic & Cartoon Network. I could care less about such things as the Food Network or the home shopping channels.
