Never ending ads.. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 2 years ago* (2 children) I switched to satellite years ago (when there was two competing services) because I once had an hour long drive and didn't hear anything but ads the whole way.

So I cancelled. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SPOOSER@lemmy.today 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) You mean as soon as two competeting companies merged to create a monopoly it caused massive problems?
