- Oh, you have an evil cable company in San Jose too ? I just got my
- bill last night. Viacom here in Marin was delighted to inform me
- that our bill just went up to $25.00 a month for basic service.
- In four years my cable bill has gone up 47%. In that same time
- period, the general rate of inflation has gone up maybe 15%. So
- they are going at 3 times the inflation rate. Who do they think
- they are - a hospital ? As soon as the niners win the Super-Bowl,
- I may just cancel my cable. Any other ideas on what we can do to
- bite these guys back ?
