Cable isn't gas.  You don't have to purchase Comcast services.

i would agree with you if the Phillies, Sixers, and Flyers were offered to Philadelphia area residents via satellite, but they're not.  it's a monopoly, but not one that is affecting quality of life

Untrue.
Comcast in the only provider in my area. The providers have split up LA between themselves and keep thier prices at whatever they want.

True, jackass.  They may damn well be the only provider, but you don't need cable to live, work, breath, or eat.  Farging shut up and cancel your cable if you don't like the rates.
