There's *always* a cost to the subscriber.
5 years ago, Internet 1meg=$42.95
Today, Internet 6meg+powerboost=$42.95

Thats a huge differance in the cost increase huh. Not EVERYTHING is auto charged for more.

What was your fee structure 5 years ago compared to today?

yes my costs for channels have gone up, but so has the number of channels and the amount of vod content. I now also have 2 DVR's and TiVo services. My internet costs have stayed the same and my phone services actually dropped in cost.

read up, yes it is relevant, he stated that there is always a charge associated with a change. I stated CHSI hadn't changed price though the services themselves did. Is CHSI/CDV/Cable the device we are speaking about? no. Is it relevant that changes have been made in system that came down to no increase cost to consumer? yes.

You might want to investigate a bit. The HSI pricing has not increased as much as cable TV because that is cross-subsidized from the much less competitive video business.

Only because the video subs are subsidizing HSI.
video subs get a rate hike everytime the wind blows.
