Metrocast Put It To Me!

ghfromaltonbay · 12-30-2013, 03:58 PM

We have Metrocast cable at our leased cottage and always suspend service from Nov. 1 to May 1. Well, Metrocast has decided to stick it to us too. A bill arrived to cover Jan. 2014, and it seems there will now be a monthly "Parking fee" which is a little over $6 until we reactivate in May. I just hope they don't start charging a reactivation fee as well! I know the phone company charges a similar fee, but that ensures you keep the same # and also, I know that the line is still capable of reaching E911. I guess with all the people abandoning cable TV they have to make it up with added fees to those who stay. They must be taking lessons from the banking industry.
