1. Wireless Phone Service - Expensive service & poor quality! Locked phones! 2-year and 3-year mandatory contracts! Caller and receiving party both pay! Consumers lose, vendors win! Yippee its capitalism at its best, free market competition and all that shit. NOT!! Its embarrassing that a third-world country like Thailand has cheaper and better cell phone service than supposedly the most advanced country in the world! Not to mention unlocked phones and calling party pays. Un-fucking-believable...
2. Cable TV - Comcast rips me off daily. The crap they pull. Want a DVR? You gotta pay not only an $11.95 month fee for that, but you need to have their "digital" service...which you ALSO pay extra for. Then, they jack you with a "basic" digital service which costs over $50/month! I am seriously looking into hacking together my own DVR and using software like Sage TV, Beyond TV , Freevo or Myth TV.
If you don't care to watch premium channels like HBO, etc, basic cable will only set you back $14/month and by law they have to include HDTV signals so if you have an HDTV you can get this content WITHOUT a cable box! Seriously, with your own DVR and basic cable service you are saving about $600/year. In my neck of the woods basic cable service includes CNBC, but I wouldn't get Bloomberg TV. Darn...
