I had cable many, many years ago. Was just $6.75/month then. Wife always complain that we had the service, she must have read something about the devil coming in the house via cable. Anyway it was canceled after 3 months. So I missed out on all the price increases, and now wouldn't think of paying the fees now charged. I actually have an antennae on my roof, rabbit ears won't do it. Recently bought a VCR recorder with digital tuner, so now also receive the digital channels (HDTV) as well as VHF/UHF. I like the sitcoms and police dramas. As a retired Verizon employee I get some discounts on land line phone service, so have kept that with DSL service. The cell phone was canceled shortly after I stopped working part time for Verizon. No discounts there.
