where are people living that they have termination fees on cable tv? I am in Minnesota with Spectrum (previously charter (previously something else)) .. I could call in tomorrow and drop the service and there wouldn't be a termination fee. They would give me an option : use it for the rest of the billing period or just cancel it now and prorate the amount I've paid.

I'm not saying fees don't exist. I'm just curious what companies are charging them and where these people live.
