I actually used to receive a $5/month credit for my CableCard for
"customer owned equipment."  They sent me a letter one day after it
being this way for 2 years (?) and now I'm not only no longer
receiving that, but also paying the additional outlet fee.  Any time I
call and ask about it, they tell me it is correct.  Unfortunately my
family uses OnDemand like crazy or I'd ditch all of the boxes and go
CableCard only.  I recently changed to a plan that was "$109/month."
After all the ridiculous fees and nonsense, my bill was still $165.
Unfortunately they are the only game in town around here so I'm stuck.
