Not wanting to pay for a level of service you know you won't use isn't being cheap, it's rational behavior.

Not wanting to pay is fine. Complaining about it in this manner is cheap.

I disagree, he's pointing out a missed opportunity at price discrimination.

Imagine if airlines only had first class tickets, would it be cheap to say "plz sell me a cheaper ticket with less leg space and alcohol"?

All the while they're paying $80+ for bundled cable service. Penny wise, pound foolish.

Cable service will serve an entire household, a Dropbox account will serve a single person.

I'm in the same boat as that guy and I donate to Wikipedia every year. I love the service. I'd happily pay Dropbox for 100GB. Instead I did a bunch of referrals and I now have 18.5GB which more than enough suits my needs.
