As someone who works in the cable industry I can say you're making the right choice. Nothing is going to change until more people do this. This industry is suicidal. Some costs that are passed along to the consumers (programming) are unavoidable and fair but the degree to which customers are gouged on equipment fees, service calls, and terrible policies is just mind boggling. It's like going to a restaurant and being charged extra to use a spoon and fork. When you find out there's a dirty sock in your soup you get the privilege of paying the waiter to remove it for you. If you like you can get a free refill of your water to wash down the lint but only if you've decided to lease the Ultra Premium Platinum Gold Silver Boost Extreme glass (only $7.99 per meal) otherwise you may buy a new glass of water for $9.99 but that deal is only available to new customers. If you've eaten here before you can pay $19.99 for your glass of water. You may however only drink half the glass otherwise we will have to impose a penalty fee. Don't worry about the prices because we're going to get your bill wrong either way and in any event it will be purposefully made to be complex so you can't understand why your bill is so high. Thanks, come again.
