Cheap Cable TV
Years ago we had a cable company called Media One. When you ordered cable from them, then changed to basic cable, they didn’t have the ability to remove all the extra channels. So for years we had really cheap cable. They would send out letters regularly telling us if we wanted to maintain the cable package we had, we would have to start paying more. We always opted not to. They eventually got bought out by Comcast, whom had no trouble shutting off cable.
