One Hit Wonder
I still have a land line (from the cable company) but I could easily drop it and just use my cell for everything. Both of my kids do that. Neither of them has a land line.Your post reminds me of the scam where a criminal puts a very small charge on a bill and because it's so small you don't notice it. Do it on enough accounts and the criminal becomes rich.
There are so many ways to spend money on internet, cable and phone, I'm sure lots of people are being being crushed. The antenna is a viable alternative to TV, not much you can do about the phone or DATA plans.
As for TV, I already get my TV over the internet (Playstation Vue). $50 a month and no cable box rental fees. Youtube has a similar package for just $40 a month. Both include an unlimited DVR too.
So it’s just internet that really still ties me to the cable company. And maybe once the 5G cellular network is done, that chain could go too.
You woukd think these idiots coukd see the handwriting on the wall and start getting realistic with their prices. I have a promotional package deal with them, but every year I have to call them and jump through hoops to get it renewed or the price goes back to “list price.” And then when you’re not looking they keep slipping these nuisance things like modem rental fees under the door.
$10 a month for a $40 modem. That’s a business I’d like to get in on.
