- Cablevision really irks me. After the phone rang for over 3 minutes, I hung up
- and immediately called back. I hung up again after the phone rang for over a
- minute. I then got 2 busy calls in a row. FINALLY, on the fifth try, I got
- through.
-
- I asked them what their plans were for both the Sci-Fi Channel and the Cartoon
- Network. The person I spoke with replied "we aren't even considering adding
- any channels until April." "April? Why?" I asked. "Due to the Cable Bill.
- We're waiting to see just what will result from it besides the rate increase."
-
- You might as well stamp "SUCKER" on my forehead.
-
- Ben, how about sharing some of those quotes?
