Bye Bye Miss Overpriced Pie

It probably won't be long before many will just use their smart cell phones at a mobile hotspot for their internet usage as cable companies continue to jack prices

And you know the curiously funny thing about this? Usually when you call a company (any company) and say you want to cancel, they start pulling out the deals. I'm sure everyone's had that happen: "if you're paying too much, we can offer you a special deal if you'll stay with us." That did not happen with Spine Warnya. It's almost like they're saying, "We're going to keep these outrageous prices until we have no customers left." One of the biggest things going today is "cutting the cable cord," and with things like Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Hulu, and all the others (not to mention being able to buy annual subscriptions to channels, just like I did with MLB.TV), cable is soon going to be a thing of the past. Direct TV and Dish have recognized this and are now offering low-price online streaming (Direct TV Now and Sling, respectively). Speckle-trum is apparently holding out with this, "Oh, you need us, so we can charge you out the wazoo" mentality. It reminds me of a Robert Klein joke about oil companies: "they say it's 'supply and demand.' Yes, 'we have all the supply so we can demand whatever the hell we want!'" But in this case, Spectrum does not have all the supply. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
