Free Cable*

Free Cable**
** Some fees not included

Why don't they just advertise it like that if they're allowed to do this broadcast surcharge? I'm not sure which is more immoral these days: marketing or legal.

What do we have now?
Outlet fee
Additional outlet fee
Advanced technology fee
Bill Pay Fee
Broadcast fee
Cable Box fee
Cable Card Fee
Customer Service Fee
DVR fee
Internet Fee
Higher Speed Internet Fee
Highest Speed Internet Fee
Multiple tiers of channel fees
PPV fees
X recovery fee
XXX Because we can fee.

How many of these show up in advertising? How many of them actually show up on the website at all? Prices shouldn't be able to be used in advertising if you can't get the service for that price without adding on extra fees.

You forgot the HD Technology fee.

Remember, all these fees they tack on only go to boost the pay of a very tiny group of people. Everyone else in the company suffers from 2% pay raises each year, at best, and only if they are lucky enough to not be included in the next round of layoffs.
