what do you expect. The Dish People leave most of there equipment behind. Waist of overhead! and CATV Gives out free installs! who do you think takes the hit? Low man on the totem pole, thats who. Funny how the prices go up on cable's end and down on ours. yet Our expencess never stop climbing and they expect more for less.How is it they can charge a cust, $75.00 for a wall fish and only pay out $30.00 and its all on my liability and my time? No wonder they rank with the Wal-mart chain. The cut throat Primes who wont stand there ground. Always someone willing to do the job for 1/2/price just to get that contract.Unless you pepole stand up TOGETHER it will never change. Have been working this system for 7 years as a sub and never seen a rate increase. I do not think its the prime that is holding out. Contract goes out for bid then the cable co. Pays what it want's not what was bid.
