Cable is Slaying My Moolah

Yes, I do indeed mean what the title says...cable is slaying my already limited funds. I have been "ballin' on a budget" for some time now but these new bills are taking the "ballin'" completely out. Now I'm just "On a Budget"...

Comcast is ridiculous, I can't get basic cable because it only comes with like 10 channels...local stations and the weather channel. WTF!?!?!? So I have to get the Digital Starter just to have CNN, USA, A&E, C-SPAN, etc. Unfortunately that package (which is the next cheapest package) is $30/mo. for 6 months and then it goes up to $50/mo. DO I EVEN WATCH THAT MUCH TV?!?!?! I guess we'll see...

What really pisses me off is that tomorrow when they come "install" the damn cable I have to pay $70 upfront. Why is there a $40 installation fee if the apartment is pre-wired for cable??? and they told me NO when I asked if I could just come pick up the box and set it up myself. Somebody needs to come destroy the comcast monopoly over CollegeTown...before my bank account gets destroyed....
