Well a month ago even with the discounts my bill inched over $50. So I call them as usual and this time they wont' budge, so I cancelled my tv. My wife flips out and the kids (2 & 4 yrs old) will wither away w/o tv. Well for 3 weeks w/o tv we actually did well and started getting use to not having it when we got a "PLEASE COME BACK!" offer in the mail for $30/month for the same service, so we signed back up. I would've payed $50/month but they woudln't listen, so we're getting it for a year for $30 a month. And at the end of the year, I see myself cancelling and doing it all over again
