We get everything. By that I mean all the stations available plus a DVR.
According to THIS article, Adelphia is asking for rates hikes of 4% to 8%, which is about $3 to $4 dollars more a month for the average subscriber who will then be paying roughly $49 a month for service.
Not much at first blush, but when you extrapolate that over a year ($36 to $48), it's like adding another month’s payment.
My monthly cable bill is a little over $140.
As a way of protesting this latest rate hike, I'm dropping everything but "Adelphia Classic Cable" and their internet service which should lower my bill about $50 a month or about $600 a year.
Next rate hike, I'll get a dish for my televisions.
The following, I'll get DSL for internet service.
I don't know who is running the show now at Adlephia, but I have only one question for them, "how do you like them apples?"
BTW...does anyone know what the "franchise fee" is all about?
Mine adds $6 to every month’s bill.
Why does the consumer have to pay a franchise fee?
It sounds like something the company should have to pay for the cost of gouging us.
