   I saw this article about why cable companies suck.

   Charter / Spectrum

   Mandatory broadcast TV surcharge will increase from $23.20 to $25.75 a month.

   Monthly HD Box rental fee will increase from $10.99 to $12.50

   Advanced WiFi charge will increase from $5 to $7 a month.

   Spectrum TV Essentials, the company's live streaming service that doesn't require a cable box, will increase from $24.99 to $29.99 a month.

   Spectrum Internet Assist, will increase from $19.99 to $24.99 a month.

     @HopelessDemigod And without a functioning FCC, expect that to get even worse as prices are going to be over $100/month for internet service in most areas very soon on top of the implimination of data caps. :)
