I don't know, how do you feel about getting 1000-2000% more speed than you could get in 1999 for the same price, or, in inflation-adjusted dollars, less? Or does that not matter, but Shaw figuring out their network couldn't sustain 250 meg speeds, or sustain a price designed to promote that service and not to reflect its long-term costs, does?

I get it, people want more for less, and never less for more. My point is that it's not really overpriced for the value even after the raise, so histrionics over cutting your cable over a few bucks is disproportionate. Cut your cable because television is 99% crap, sure, cut it because it used to cost you $147 and now it's $152, well...
