Is this a "get you hooked-on and then exploit you" rip off or what?

If they send you a bill for $187 for one year, you can dicker that down to at least a $100 or lower. They quote you higher prices expecting you to dicker with them. If you pay the full price it is your fault, don't do it. I have heard of people getting service for as low as $4.00 per month. Also never give them your credit card number as they can renew it automatically and charge you the full price.

I was born in Boston, but, raised down here, so, I use the satellite radio to listen to Boston sports down here. To me, it's worth it. You have to decide for yourself whether it's worth it to you.
