$%#@ Time Warner Cable!!
DrewKaree:
My buddy has a wife and 2 small kids, about the same ages, and his kids don't watch TV. He borrows videos from the library and has a select collection they've purchased for the kids to watch any time. Cable television isn't required, and at the very least, the amount of your bill suggests something far more than basic cable. That decision is yours alone.
All that being said, the problem is that your threats are empty. You stated that your buddy paid $20 less to start, and you just ate that cost for three months, and each time they upped your bill, you ate it yet again. I haven't had cable for several months, and CONSTANTLY get barraged with snail mail telling me of their latest greatest deal they want to offer me if only I come back to them.
If you want your bill to go down, more folks like you have to tell the cable company to shove it, and actually follow through on their thus-far-hollow threats. If they had any worries that they were losing business to threats like that, they'd be working with you. You GOTTA call their bluff or you're gonna keep getting hit with this stuff....at the very least, I'd be calling to ask "why the *#$@ does my bill keep going up each and every month".

I have to say that I have no complaints about DirecTV. Go ahead and dump your cable and switch.

Same here... Never any outages, and the bill is always the same. Plus, you can add or subtract programming online without having to talk to an annoying sales type person.

That's a great feature. I change my premium movie channel package fairly often. It's great that you can get online, change your programming, and it takes effect as soon as you click the submit button.
