Greed! Ripoff Anti-Trust! Go get em McCain!

I have always had Cox cable.in 1994, I switched my phone over from Qwest and got high speed internet. The reason I did this is that they offered a bundle discount (approx $23). I go all out with Cox too. My bill is around $152/month. I have HD, DVR, all the movie channels, you name it.

The ONE CATCH. I live in a 2 yr old development. Cox secured a deal with the homebuilder to offer basic cable through the homeowners association. So Cox bills my homeowners assoc approx $10/month for the basics (channel 3,5, 10,12, 15) which of course is passed on to me through homeowners dues.

Cox just sent me a letter today saying I was never eligible to receive that bundle discount (because my HOA handles the basic) and they will be removing it. Now I am p*d off!

I called Cox and they act like because the HOA handles it, I am getting some sort of deal. Regardelss of which middlemen are involved, I am paying the bill. Their response: Sorry, that's the way it is. How is it that I pay the bill to the homeowners so Cox is getting my $152/month $10 for the basic, and not be eligible for that discount? This is pure greed and shameful skating on technicalities.

I googled for antitrust info and John McCain introduced a bill in early 2005 slamming COX for crap like this. I should be free to choose to do business the way everyone else does business. This is America right?
