I have much bigger reasons. Half way through a contract, they remove half the channels I care about, call it a "channel realignment," which leads me to argue with them pointlessly for hours, only to eventually agree to pay $5 more per month to get my channels back, and *then* they hit me with the early termination fee anyway, for terminating my old service and upgrading to the new service. > The big question is who can you switch to?

That's my problem. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
