Spectrum rate hike / Betty Boop saying of the Day

Was looking back at a post I made last year after my one year anniversary with Spectrum http://terlinguadreams.blogspot.com/2018/08/my-cable-bill-went-up.html

Though not particularly happy at least I had a good speed connection and no data caps as when I had that worthless DISH!

Since then things have gone downhill.  My latest issue has been that my caller ID is no longer working on either of the three television sets that I have to fork out money for. I do not recall if it is either $6.99 or $7.99 monthly for each cable box...you need a cable box to be able to access your channels and TV guide as well as see who is calling while you are watching your television set.  While I have a regular phone that I can go to check who called I am not about to run to see who it was.

So for my "real life friends" please leave a message and I will get back to you.

I got a letter from Spectrum last month thanking me for being their customer for two years but also notifying me that my two-year special pricing package with them would be coming to an end.  I had other issues to deal with so I just put it aside.

I have most of our utility accounts either on paperless billing and/or automatic debit as you all know if you have been reading me for a while that I suffer from CRS and add to that our busy medical appointment schedule and we would probably end up with no water, electricity, telephone, Internet, etc. etc.

I was incredulous when I received an email saying there would be a debit to my account in the amount of  $208.80 when last month it was $168.02 that is a $40.78 increase. 

No,  I am not going to bi*ch about it...though I think it is very pricey as my friends in Houston are not having to pay these exorbitant fees. I have to realize I live in the middle of nowhere where civilization is a three-hour drive away and there is no competition to speak of to bring down the prices like in larger cities.

Where are the big-name Internet providers?  We need you in West Texas!

Today we had a high of 103, a low of 78 with a heat index of 107.

To spice things up I am going to try a new feature on my blog that I will call my "Betty Boop saying of the day".

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
