[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3218778, member: 43724"] Trust me, you're not alone. I work for Cox, going on my 18th year with them. The biggest drive for price hikes are the broadcasters. Right now there are only 7-10 (can't remember with all the mergers now) broadcasters who control all the channels. The average price hike when they renegotiate their contracts is 300%. The providers have no choice but to hike prices, especially with the fast pace advancement of technology. When you look at their costs for business if they kept their prices level for more than 2 years they would go into the red. If I didn't work for them I wouldn't have pay tv service. Especially with over 55 channels available OTA and the plethora of streaming choices available. Pretty soon this will force the broadcasters to lower their prices, that or they will jack up the prices for streaming. So enjoy the cheap streaming while you can, because you know the broadcasters won't lower their prices. [/QUOTE]
