Re: It's cause the stock is cheap If you're talking about your stock portfolio, the percentage increase in CHTR's stock price is all that matters. |

Of course, in the contect of my statement, I was speaking of how change by X percentage is useless unless quantified with hard numbers from a statistics standpoint...

I don't get the speeds I pay for here in Madison, WI.
More importantly for a cable TELEVISION company, the picture quality here is the worst of many places I've been in the last 10 years. The STBs are cheap, little, feature stripped, buggy motorolas.
The video on demand is woefully bad too. Well, of course this is compared to the other cable (TV/ISP) companies I've had in the last 10 years:
FiosTV/Fios ( Beaumont, CA)
Time Warner ( Garden Grove, CA & Columbus, OH)
Adelphia ( Yucaipa, CA)
Prime Cable/Cox ( Las Vegas, NV)
Charter ( Hammond, LA & St. Louis, Missouri)
DirecTV
Oh, I forgot to mention, several of the HD channels you're supposed to get when on that tier don't come in... Good thing there really isn't any real competition for them here or they'd go under. No wonder they're in last place. They're not doing anything to make themselves better. |

Madison, AL | Same thing in Auburn, AL. They're a monopoly, so they can get away with crappy service and terrible uptime at far too high of prices. Nothing like a captive audience...

Well Charter is not really a "cable" company anymore in terms of TV, in a couple of months they will have more Phone/HSI customers than Cable TV customers. |

I suggest you go to Auburn and attend a Economics class on business structure to see that Charter is not a Monopoly. Monopoly's are nearly impossible in the television and high speed market. You have DSL and satellite along with cable.
Just for fun because of your Avatar GO DAWGS!! |

I do realize they are behind the times on speed and pricing though.

Certainly not, because as easy as it can go up a buck and can drop a buck. Percentages don't tell you anything. It's about the VALUE of the increase on a per share basis, not the percentage of increase.

We aren't talking about a stock portfolio, we're talking about a company's share value in which case percentages of change are irrelevant when not accompanied by the actual value of the stock.

First things first, War Damn Eagle! 
Secondly, I'll concede the point about DSL (no arguments there), but for TV, the satellite option is nonexistent for most of the student population. Most of us live in apartments, so we can't mount a satellite dish externally, and less than half (if I had to guess, I'd say probably ~25%) of the apartments have windows that have a good shot at the southwestern sky (Azimuth 207.9, elevation 48.6 for DirecTV). For me, at least, it's not happening.
While it may not be a true monopoly, it's certainly close enough to one in practice.
