Cable and electric are both going up 18%
 

I received notice this week saying that both my cable and my electric rates are going up 15-18%. Funny timing. Makes you wonder if they are doing this because of the stimulus bill... that rate increase pretty much eats up a good portion, if not all, of the weekly check increase that most people will be getting.

Bring on the inflation...

Get rid of cable and get an OTA HD antenna + media center + FTA satellite

Save overall.

direct tv for the win :)

"Nobody making less than $250,00 will see one dime of increase iin your taxes"

Believe it!!

What providers are still doable via FTA? I been having trouble with DishNetwork, and ExpressVu is outta commission for a while at least.

My water and electricity already went up:(

dishnet is working fine if you have the latest fixes. I haven't had to install a new patch for I think almost 2 weeks now. They were hitting it frequently for a while, but the patches always came out within 12 hours or less.

edit: just checked and it has been up since March 3.

You weren't supposed to read those parts of the stimulus bill and proposed budget.

I noticed and I have to call from $129 to now $150 and I changed nothing.
