Tennis gone too.

Sportsman gone too! I don't know, but it is ridiculous that they change channel lineup for current subscribers. It iis called a bait and swich and it is bad business and bad ethics to do that. They get you hooked on channels and then make them part of the next package up so you have to pay an additional $15 a month to keep them. Absolutely ridiculous. Did they give us any channels in the place of those channels?????

Welcome to the world of how Verizon raises prices. Unfortunately this is nothing new, they have been doing things like this for as long as I can remember (I subscribed in 2008). It's a rather underhanded way to do it, (it's not bait and switch, they clearly state in the fine print they can do this) they would be better served if they just said they are increasing the price of Tier X by 1 dollar or 2 or whatever. All they do now is **bleep** off thier clients (as you are well aware).
