You missed the whole point. "Don't buy it" only works when there's competition. And I don't know of anyone who thinks cable TV and internet are luxuries anymore, especially when you have a home office. I have every right to expect not to be gouged. Metrocast increased my rates -- with no warning, no explanation. They just assume I'm going to shut my mouth and do what you suggest -- not give them a hard time. Well, I am going to give them a hard time; and I do expect to engage into a discussion; and I will complain and expect them to show me details, facts, and figures. Then I'll decide what to do. But, keep quiet and simply shut down because it's a "luxury"??? -- I don't think so.
