    I've been an XM listener for eighteen years. Today I cancelled it. It's just not the same situation. I've been stuck doing local runs for six months. XM goes for me on otr. Even on down time, and I have way too much of that, it reminds me of the open road. I haven't even plugged the receiver in for five months.

    My bill was twenty six bucks per month. I will continue to listen to my personal music collection on mp3 and Amazon music. When I return to the open road, whenever that may be, I will restart XMa sort of celebration.

    I told them to screw off a year ago. Raised up to over $300 a year. Then they had the gall to offer it to me for $70 for the year when I went to cancel. I found that pretty insulting.

    I was not pleased either when my rate almost doubled. Plus the play lists became repetitious. I used to listen to one channel for ten hours and not hear the same song twice. Plus the sound quality deteriorated. It was once CD quality. Now it sounds slightly better than AM.

    It went down hill after the merger with Sirius.

    I dropped them a couple years ago. Why spend the money when I'm already paying for unlimited data on a cell plan can stream exactly what I want to listen to over an app?

    Silly, they have a promotion running for the last 4 years.
    30 bucks for 6 months. Yearly that’s 60 bucks..

    Also, since I'm stuck in the city I have trouble getting a signal.

    I expect them to send me a We Miss You message soon. Then try to woo me back with a special rate. Or perhaps I will try your method of subscription. 60 twice a year ain't bad
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.
