This week, I received an email advising me that the DirecTV rates were going to increase next month. I guess that times being what they are, that I’m OK with the new rate. However, when I clicked on the link to see the new rates, they sent me to this helpful and informative document (tongue-in-cheek, of course):
C’mon, DirecTV . . . how about posting a readable rate chart showing old vs. new rates and something to indicate which package applies to me?
I wonder if Dish® Network does the same crap.

Why are you ok with this rate increase? They drop Versus and then a couple months later increase their rates 6.5%. They said they were paying more to Versus than any other subscriber and that it was very expensive. They drop this very expensive channel and then increase out rates to make up for it. These guys are ripping us off. We need some federal regulation of their rates.
The last thing that needs to be imposed on free-enterprise business is Federal regulations. It’s the Feds that are ripping EVERYONE off. The reality is that businesses like DirecTV are suffering from the result of Federal deficits and the lack of non-government money in the system.
If you’re pissed about Versus, get in touch with Dish Network or Comcast. Since they monopolize Versus and overcharge DirecTV by 20 percent.
Bottom line – getting the Feds involved is the last thing that should be done.
