The best way to send the cable company a message is not to pay for something if you don't like it, or switch to another cable provider. I doubt the latter is usually possible.
I, for example, do not subscribe to MediaOne's program package with the Sci-Fi and Cartoon channels because it simply costs too much. The cable modem service is a great deal, however.
Cable companies often have monopolies in local areas. This lack of competition means they're not as customer-oriented as they would be otherwise.
Sound familiar? I'm just glad I don't have to buy a MediaOne-compatible television set to use their service.
