The Coyote has finally captured the Road Runner, at least in my house. The Road Runner internet connection is down until Sunday (the earliest they have an appointment open – believe me, this is not at all acceptable) so I’m writing my Holidailies posts offline, and will put them up when I am back running.

During all the quality time I spent on the phone with the TWC people today, I asked how much their cheapest digital cable package currently runs. I’m trying to prepare in advance for the great analog to digital switch in 2/09. Current cost is $51.95 per month, plus all taxes. That would bring it up to roughly $69.74 per month.

The rep wondered why I was laughing so hard.

The good news is that there are several other options (though most just as pricey) in the area. I may give up television entirely in 2009 rather than pay their rates, or mess with the converter box and rabbit ears, only to get the local channels.

After all, I can get news, entertainment and all I really need from the internet.

Right?
