Are you comparing teaser rates to normal rates? AT&T was about the same price as DTV but includes Internet. DSL was more than $50/mo and while neither is perfectly reliable, the fiber is better and 50x faster than DSL.

"Family dinners round here are a riot"... that I agree with ;-) ... Particularly with our mixed ethnicity...
When a Hispanic son-in-law-to-be came the first time to dinner, he was very quiet. Upon leaving with our daughter, he said, "You argued with _your_father_ ???"
(I gather they don't do that in Hispanic families ;-)
Our daughter's response was, "We weren't arguing, it was 'discussion'." (She still votes Democrat ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I do not think that there are any "teaser" rates; now advertized rates is anther story. Those are always bullshit, since all of the taxes and fees are studiously not included. Actual cost is always about double the ad rates.
You're wrong, of course.
Irrelevant.
No.
Dew tell; give *one* verifiable example.
EVERY ad i have seen: throw-away fliers (Comcast,Dish) in mailbox, ads from provider (Comcast in my case), newspaper blow-in ads, etc wave banners about "ONLY" blah blah and 6 point multi-liner that talks about (BUT NO QUOTES) taxes, fees, installation, etc. Give us an example where the rate quoted is correct (or even in the ballpark).
I have tried to ask about the fees and "taxes" and been told they don't know, seems the billing computer is the only entity that actually knows the amount of taxes. Once when I called to ask about the quarterly billed "franchise fee" and who it was going to, I was told they didn't know and I would have to ask my franchise contact.

Dude! When you top post, you have no justification for complaining how quotes of your messages show up. I can't believe you have made so many posts here and no one has pointed that out to you...

"double" may be an exaggeration. Maybe not. Anyway, the actual cost can be a lot higher.
Once I had phone service that had everything (local service, unlimited long distance, caller ID, call waiting, etc...), advertised price "ONLY" $39.95. The actual billed amount was above $55 (essentially, $39.95 was a lie).

You made the claim. Back it up!
A big exaggeration.
I can believe that. Most of those "fees" are fixed, not based on the service. You'd pay the same if it were a $150 plan (whatever it might include).
They can figure out the taxes and fees for you they are just to lazy to do the math. I have had them do it many times when i make adjustments to my services.
I am aware my news reader does it but have not have the time to change it.
it.
It has very little to do with your newsreader. Regardless of where the newsreader puts the cursor, you can move it yourself.
Outlook Express can use OEQuoteFix. It's possible that third-party thing can make OE a good citizen.

Thank you ill look in to it
I'm sorry to read you are "so ill".
If that prevents you from using the down-arrow key, I hope you get better soon.
I make mistakes TOM are you prefect?
I tried to convince my daughter I was, but she didn't believe it.
As a separate point, top-posting and putting the context (i.e. my response to your previous message) below your .sig (i.e. after the "--" line) meant that my newsreader chopped the context when creating this message. Yes, I could have manually re-inserted it, but I couldn't be bothered. Another reason top-posting is disliked.
change it.
Yes, I know. Back in the days when I used Outlook Express, I used to use OEQuoteFix.
But my point was that although even though something like OEQuoteFix can make it easier, it isn't necessary. You can still put your reply anywhere you want before, after, or within the quoted text.
