Cable companies & Phone companies now have competition, cable phones, direct tv etc. TSN-Strat offers a unique product. If I don't play Strat, what I am going to do, play ABBA or whoever those other guys are? Let's be realistic. I think the 5 pack is a sucker bet, with the new game around the corner, but the to chose the 1 pack in order to pass time awaiting the new season, is a cool deal.

[quote:3fe095e3b5="wockenfuss"]Actually, cable companies WILL give you a pro rata discount for service interruption (other than as a result of weather) if you ask.
On Long Island, I've gotten a free month or two when they have a software glitch and my "on demand" service didn't work for a few days. I complained (I was cranky then), got a supervisor on the phone, got a pro rata discount for missed days on the service and 2 months free.
So, I disagree. Like nearly everything in this generation, you get BUBKUS unless you ask for something. Generally, these transactions are small and service providers trust that ordinary people won't take the time to make a stink. I wouldn't have made a stink with LARGE CABLECO unless my internet service wasn't adversely affected (HORRORS!).
Not that this is germane to the current subject. TSN has stated that insofar as 2006 is concerned, the answer is BUBKUS in any event (except of you have no credits left, buy one and port it over to 2006.....I think).
