An Ohio man says Time Warner Cable told him he owed the company $16.4 million.
Daniel DeVirgilio, of Beavercreek, says his payment was rejected because it wouldn't cover the total. His bill is usually $80.
DeVirgilio tells the Dayton Daily News he wanted to watch the NCAA basketball tournament's Sweet 16 but didn't expect it to cost a million dollars per team. He jokes he should have added Showtime to his channels because the charge of a few extra dollars doesn't seem big in comparison."



Seems like a typical cable bill to me nowadays.

    Now you know why I dumped my cable...

    $80 a month to pay to watch commercials.

      I don't think my children even know what the word 'arcade' means. I don't think they have ever seen one...

      There used to be arcades in shopping malls.... do those behemoth palaces of retail slavery still have arcades? I don't shop in the mauls... (misspelling intentional!)
