16. "Average cable bill now $90 per a month & we expect it to hit $200 per month by 2020"

On Wednesday's Marketplace, in an interview about the Supreme Court's decision ruling against the Aereo TV service, Marketplace Tech host Ben Johnson mentioned he is a "cord cutter." Meaning, he gets his television and video content without paying a cable bill.

Here's why:

A survey out from the market research firm NPD group says the average cable bill now sits right near $90 per a month and we expect it to hit $200 per month by the end of the decade. $200. A month. For television.

18. Omg, that is so true. We just went through two months of trying to get the service we

pay for. They told us they would send out a technician and it would ONLY cost us $29 instead of the actual fee of $125 because 'we had insurance'. I was flabbergasted, their equipment was faulty when we moved in and have had problems from the beginning.

Then they wanted me to 'test' the modum with instructions from someone in China or wherever whose English was so bad I couldn't understand a word she said.

I asked for a superviser. Told HIM I was not an employee of their company and was not getting paid to 'test' equipment, I reminded him that I was a customer.

I told him I was looking for another provider. At that point he said 'we don't want to lose you so we'll deduct a payment for the time you had no service.

This is their model. Hire techs in China, India who cheaper than techs here for what they call 'customer service'. Then use the customer to do the work of testing the equipment. If that doesn't work, they have contracted technical companies here for which they make the CUSTOMER pay.

It won't stop until there is a mass boycott which would require that people be willing to do without cable, internet for at least one week. But they know that won't happen. Congress has allowed all this to happen.

I bet Corporations were responsible for the removal of that excellent ad. It should go viral on the internet, since it clearly upsets them.
