Recently, I upgraded the outdoor antenna I use to receive broadcast television signals.
Having fringe reception runs the risk of signal disruption at any time, but the financial rewards are significant. Comcast's basic cable tier, starts at $30 a month, plus a mandatory set top box. On top of this extortionate rate, the company adds fees and taxes raising the annual cost to more than $500.
Impressive.
It appears that cable companies have confronted the reality of customer churn and opted to squeeze every last cent out of subscribers disinclined to economize, install their own antennas, and opt for streaming of both live, linear channels and video on demand content.
There's a high price to pay for loyalty.
