Mr. Whitmer contacted Insight in an effort to add a premium channel to his Classic service. He was told that he must rent a cable box for each TV (at a cost of $3.95/box) in order to view premium channels. His TV is already cable ready and he does have digital service. He would like to know why he must rent the box in order to keep his normal service and add one premium channel.

Subscriber says she rec'd no notification of the rate increase; she is disappointed by the dramatic increase in rates over the past three years; she would like to pay for smaller package, with the extra channels she uses, but not pay for 60 or 70 channels she doesn't watch.
Subscriber is upset with the recent rate increase; she spoke with Insight and asked why a middle package between the $11 basic package and the $38 classic package is not available. Insight rep explained that surveys are done to determine subscriber needs - customer has never rec'd survey in 20 yrs. She would like to see a medium range package - basic plus a few extra channels available. She is also concerned about the amount of junk mai that has recently been included in her monthly bills.
Subscriber stated that his bill increased $3.50 this month. Subscriber stated that he was not informed of rate increase; he has called Insight to question his bill several times, and he has been placed on hold repeatedly and received no response.

The above address is Mr. Holdeman's daughter residence. Mr. Holdeman called Insight to get a price quote for digital cable. He was quoted $59.95.

He is also concerned that he was not told that his bill would include sales tax, franchise fees, and other user fees by the customer service representative.
