Remember when TV used to be free, except that you had to watch commercials? I pay $2800 a year to this company for Internet and TV - and I still have to watch commercials. What’s wrong with this picture?

Did they connect your house with solid gold cables or what is this?

No gold. It’s what they charge us privileged Californians.

Wait. You’re paying $230+ per month for internet and tv? Even if I was currently living in Western Europe, a fully maxed out package there wouldn’t cost half of that and that’s without the time gated discounts.
(For comparison: tested with ziggo.nl, largest tv and largest internet package with landline phone comes out to ~€95/month)lemmefixdat4u@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It’s $210 a month plus $30 in taxes and fees for 400 mbit internet with a 1.2 TB usage cap and a mid-tier programming package renting one cable box (required) and one cablecard for the Tivo box. Some months I exceed my internet cap and have to pay $10 for every 50 GB over the limit. Welcome to California living.

They can reduce the price as much as they want, but I still won’t pay for it until they get rid of the DRM.
