This is my October 2014 Time Warner "Triple Play" bill. When I signed up,
less than two years ago, it was advertised at $89.99 and today, less than
two years later, the actual price is 110% more -- now $190.77.* Click for

Fact is -- you can never, ever get the advertised price because it doesn't
include many of the fixed costs, like the set top box, not to mention it is
littered with pass-throughs of the company's taxes and fees, including the
cable franchise fees. To add insult to injury, there are a bunch of
garbage, made up charges, and let us not forget the increases on all
services -- the 'Internet modem' fee went up 140%.

Not to mention I was overcharged as the Universal Service Fund calculation
is wrong by $.07 -- not in my favor.

I know most of you reading this 'feel my pain'.
