Newton Citizen Poll 3-1-08
"I noticed someone on the 16th took offense because Charter Cable is raising their rates. I fully agree with them. The city of Covington has gone their normal route, making a dollar any way they can. The service is no better. Reception on some of the higher channels wasn't all that great, but Charter changed that. They took away some channels in addition to raising the rates and decided we need more Latin and sports channels. What a novel idea, in addition to raising the rates up front the only way to get some of the channels you once had and liked is to purchase a higher priced package ... Can anyone suggest a really good satellite company?"
