Ten Things Cable-TV Companies Won't Say

Bundled packages aren't much of a deal, good service is hard to find and subscription prices are rising faster than inflation. More reasons to cut the cord?

1. "Customers are fed up with us."
2. "Good service exists...just not in your area."
3. "We aren't a monopoly, but we may be your only option."
4. "Raising prices is part of our heritage."
5. "Even the phone companies are on our side."
6. "We're at the mercy of the networks."
7. "Buying services piecemeal hurts you, not us."
8. "Use the word 'cancel,' and you've got our attention."
9. "We will squeeze your Internet."
10. "We're cracking down on piracy."
