  1. $240 for cable access... and it still has ads. by neo · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Now I remember why I don't own a TV. This cable service is charging you $240 for what you could get for under $150. Phone, DSL, and cable locally only cost (added together) about $110.

    This is probably just a ploy so they can lower the price and have people react positively. "Oh, we were crazy, no one will pay $240. We lowered it to $120."

    For the amount they are asking, I would want to have on demand TV with no commercials.
