I'd had DirecTV since before the turn of the century.  I canceled it
today.  It has gotten too expensive -- more than $200/mo, even before
another rate increase next month.  We now have an Xfinity bundle that
includes very fast internet and costs less than half of what I'd been
paying just for DirecTV.

I never thought I'd go back to cable, but here I am.  The DirecTV DVR
is better, but not so much better than I want to pay an extra $100+ a
month for it and not get fast internet.

I also got rid of our landlines today.  They'd become nothing but
conduits for junk callers, and I was very, very tired of paying for
being harassed by crooks.

Goodbye, then.  I've been in this newsgroup for many years and, even
though there's very little posting going on these days, I used to find
the people here to be very helpful.  My deepest thanks, wherever you
are.
