The posted example is the best reason to try to not have the monopoly in a business. In fact this is useful if the company is your and you can do everything with your clients. Thank you for your study !

lonly no more.

Finally i swicth off the service last week.
From the begining i have the feeling to owne something to them all the time and not enjoy at all the service they can provide. Looks like i need to kneel down to them and say thank you to be there for my needs.
I think they have a wrong meaning of “service provider” for the people.
Also i have arguements with them about increasing price and billing problems with the only final answear is like that, take of live.
I will listen more radio for now on.

You have to realize that $tarHub creates their groupings not because they make sense, but because they want to maximize profits.

The groupings are established to try and have as many people subscribe to as many groups as possible, while keeping each group size roughly the same so you can’t easily drop weaker groups without losing one or two channels that you really like.

I still can’t get over the fact that Discovery Science is in Lifestyle and not Education group.

Who the hell made that decision?

Yes, I’ve also recently received the aforesaid letter. Totally screwed up my day. Splitting up the same packages so they can charge us more. Pay and Pay.

Yeah, your Basic Groups are different from your Basic Upsize, and have to pay for them separately. However, if you buy Basic Upsize once, you get “upsized” for all of your Basic Groups, no matter how many you have.

Anyway, if your need for cable TV is primarily for watching anime, I’m sure there are better alternatives out there if you look hard enough.

Does this mean that I will Have to Pay For both the Basic n The Basic Upsize? Do I need to call them to add/Cancel the Basic Upsize Plans?
