Well said, Mr. O; however I would like to trash talk just about their "VIP" pricing. What a crock; I don't have [extended] cable since I don't watch any sports, I do have the basic since it is effectively $3/month when bundled with internet on my plan. So I can watch my new Simpsons episodes on certain Sunday evenings... I have a "3rd-party" VoIP solution which works great, for about $10/month total, and can't imagine paying them $33 for the same -- except for the price gouging, AKA bonus points for "VIP" (read: $100/mo customer, not VoIP -- bomcast uses sideband not the IP space on your wire which is controversially better or worse). Well I could rant on but I think you get my picture by now :)
