If that is not another bizzare twist to the Mediacom saga... They lose FOX and also CBS in Cedar Rapids then on top of it they increase rates after they probably just lost a bunch of business. We really need someone like Time Warner or ComCast to come into Des Moines and force some competition because as long as Mediacom is running the cable Monopoly stuff like this is going to happen.
Comcast is raising their rates also.........4%.....about $4 for me
