| Yeah not buying that bridge Are they insane? per channel costs my *ss...
The cable companies charge through the nose, and deliver customer service that is abysmal at best. 30 years of technology and they can't yet detect on their own when their service has gotten hosed. Network engineers who lack High School diplomas, and have about as much knowledge as same. They stifle competition, cherry pick what markets get upgrades then accuse others of doing these things to influence media and the law. Upgrades and service improvements in areas that lack competition almost never arrive. Ever had an appointment for service where the person never showed? 4 hour service window? Hey, how bout I give you a 4 week window of when you'll get my check? Bet that wouldn't be very popular. You know why they need those "service windows"? Because even with 10's of 000's of contractors, they still don't have enough people (who can stay awake mind you) to fix the crap that is broken, poorly maintained and generally junk from the get go. If they didn't have a captive market they'd have been out of business 10 years ago.
Lower prices? They lower service. They lower quality. But the only thing the price does is go up, and it ALWAYS exceeds the cost of living base. Your wages should go up as much in % as your cable bill, you'd all be millionaires.
Not that the pathetic people we have in government would ever step in on our behalf. No they are bought off. Lawmakers stifle the competition but give the crap we get from the cable companies free reign.
It's enough to make you puke. |
