Cable One
Un-bundled cable Charging

I wanted to disconnect my Internet service from my cable TV. Good luck.in an attempt to lower my $165/mo cable bill, I planned to move Internet service to ATT and at the same time drop my deluxe cable to their 'standard' service. Of course, the rate goes up, but I still save money. But the real kicker in all this, is they want to charge me $23/mo (double) for the rental of a DVR box that I have already paid for (at the rate of $12x24 mos) well over 2 years ago, and continue to pay for today. So far, I have paid enough in rent in the 5 years I've had it, to buy two of these on E-Bay.

To add insult to this injury, Cable One intends to charge me $23/mo for this same device as a penalty for dropping Internet service with them. (They called it "un-bundling.) That's $276/year. I could buy one new DVR player every year for that. That's almost $3,000 in a ten year period. And we consumers are letting them get away with this bunk. Someone should write a law that says "... Consumer own all rented equipment at a point in which the rental costs equals fair market value." I am furious.
