[quote=DWCAP][quote=moxiecalifornia]I heard that it was never supposed to be a toll road, and that housing developers promised buyers that the 125 would make the commute into the city easier. When I bought my house in April I thought the toll was unusually high, even when I got the fast track I ended up spending at least 80 dollars a month just on tolls. Now they want to increase it? Are you kidding?! It’s an insult as it is that when I have visitors to my house that they either have to spend money on the toll, or make the painful drive to the 805. If the company kept to their original budget we would never have had this problem. Don’t they also realize that lowering the toll would increase the amount of people on the road and balance out or even make them more money? [/quote]

Usually toll roads dont want to increase the number of people using them, because part of the reason people pay for them is that there will be no traffic.

Also, the toll road operator usually pays for maintenance so they dont want big trucks or too much traffic cause they would have to fix the road early.

[quote=meadandale]Anything that I would have driven to Parkway for in El Cajon I’ll now drive to fashion valley or UTC for. Since I live in Allied Gardens, El Cajon is about equidistant as UTC. Even if UTC is slightly higher, I’ll pay an extra buck in gas to save 10’s or hundreds of dollars in sales tax.[/quote]

At least someone is buying. Saving hundreds of dollars on extra 1% means you may spend 10K+ at the mall. They should send a limo out to pick up high rollers.

Just like FLU did, you have to negotiate, threaten to walk.

At least if you ask for a discount, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing two cases in which subscribers got almost 50% knocked off their bills.

“As competition builds between cable companies like Comcast (CMCSA) and Time Warner Cable (TWC) and telcos like AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ), service providers are slashing rates to keep subscribers.
This is not good news for the cable and telco companies, of course. While reducing churn is a good thing, slower monthly ARPU (average revenue per user) growth — or perhaps ARPU shrinkage — is bad news”

[quote=Raybyrnes]Time Warner offers Cable, Internet and Phone Bundle for $100.
I am wondering if there is a way of hooking my computer up to the TV and then routing everything through the computer.Anyone doing that already.

If you have decent PC video card you just need the S-video (or HMDI on fancy video card) out to TV and the line out cable from PC audio card to receiver.

For my low end laptop, I have VGA output hooked up to my LCDs (most LCD have PC input), and a Y cable from headphone jack of laptop to RCA input of my receiver. Stream netflix, decent picture, OK audio only stereo.

monoprice.com has all cables you need at very low prices.
