YOU CAN GET INTERNET ACCESS AT ANY PUBLIC LIBRARY!!!!! We tax payers are ALREADY paying for free internet for anyone that can’t afford it!

[TheDigitalDynamo]

@vechorik I have to agree - it should be free good comment and thanks!

[23MJLegend]

cable cost seem to keep going up and Im still keep on wondering when it will go down?

thanks for the heads up



[TheDigitalDynamo]

@23MJLegend probably never - until a competitor brings their cost down. Time will tell.

What if I am not a senior? what will be the next thing I need to do when i contact my cable company?

[TheDigitalDynamo]

@JayT519 You can determine what group of cable programming channels you can do without and purchase the limited packages. Cable companies really don't what you to know about these. but they are available.

[TheCp774]

This is great information, Cable companies overcharge customers too much. I know all of you will agree with me.

[TheDigitalDynamo]

@TheCp774 yes Cable Bills tend to be predatory by adding unnecessary charges that consumers miss each month. Personally over 2 years, I have gotten Comcast to credit me back over $500 in over charges. If this is happening to me - can't imagine seniors experiences.
