Re: It's cause the stock is cheap

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...

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!!

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.
