Price Increase Coming...

[Ramy]

Oh I know it isn't totally their fault, but they don't have to pay their prices. I am all for telling ESPN to stick it.

What about all of these commercials on tv with The Black Eyed Peas, King Kong, Christina Aguilera, etc. I'm sure these people are not cheap or do it for free!

What about those white DIRECTV shirts and white vans the DIRECTV installers drive ? I'm sure those are not cheap. What about the money they pay their employees ? What about the money they pay for the vending machines in the breakroom ?

What about those new satellite thingies they launch ? Those aren't cheap.

Don't forget all the computers they have for customer service.

All I was saying was they are paying big stars a lot of $$. And I know all the vans and satellites aren't cheap.

There is a line that can be crossed though and there are limits.

And they buy the vans there too?

 

[vurbano]

They can't keep raising prices by $3 every year or it will go so high that nobody can afford to keep it.

Bingo we have a winner. It wont be long until they price themselves right out of business. And in this climate? Its a slap in the face to loyal customers.

Its as simple as "what the market will bear" like it or not. I too don't care for the increase but have no troubles adding $3 - $7 / month to TV and clearing out the same amount I may "waste" elsewhere. It won't break me and if it would, maybe I need to rethink having SAT.
