Cablevision really irks me.  After the phone rang for over 3 minutes, I hung up
and immediately called back.  I hung up again after the phone rang for over a
minute.  I then got 2 busy calls in a row.  FINALLY, on the fifth try, I got
through.

I asked them what their plans were for both the Sci-Fi Channel and the Cartoon
Network.  The person I spoke with replied "we aren't even considering adding
any channels until April."  "April?  Why?" I asked.  "Due to the Cable Bill.
We're waiting to see just what will result from it besides the rate increase."

You might as well stamp "SUCKER" on my forehead.

Ben,  how about sharing some of those quotes?

Derrick
