The question always arises, “Why does my Cable bill keep going up”,The answer is, because we’re willing to pay for it.When small Dish satellite hit the market a decade ago this finally created competitions for Cable TV companies that had a virtual monopoly on the television industry. This forced Cable companies to get better customer service, clearer picture quality, and innovative devises, otherwise you could now swith to Dish Network or Direct TV.If you’re sick of paying outrageous prices for cable and satellite TV, then drop their services. You don’t have to pay for TV, it’s free through the airwaves.
I agree that cable is expensive. The last time I had satellite tv, the local channesl were not included and I had to add a separate antenna to get them. Either way I always feel like I am getting ripped off. Why do I have to pay for all those extra channels when I have no desire to have them. Why can’t I select the channels I want and pay only for those. I’m sure that cable or satellite company can find a way to give you only what you want instead of all these extra channels and features that I have no desire to have.
