Promises: $400 Billion Broadband Scandal

<p>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.<strong> <a href="http://newnetworks.com/timewarnermarkup2014.htm" target="_blank">Click for Full Size</a></strong>.

<p>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%.</p>
<p>Not to mention I was overcharged as the
Universal Service Fund calculation is wrong by
$.07 -- not in my favor.</p>
<p>I know most of you reading this 'feel my
pain'. </p>
