Re: They're pushing it

I would take that more as a poorly managed company than a justification to once again raise rates. The huge growth of Comcast over the recent years is supposed to realize efficiencies and economies of scale. If they can't realize this, the maybe they'd do better reverting back to a bunch of more localized independents.

It's great that bundled services can save money. I, however, am not so keen on having all services tied to one line. That one line down, all services down. Not a risk I'm willing to take considering my experience with cable OR telco services.

It would be interesting to see where Comcast rate hikes have happened overlaid where there is competition. Now that FIOS is in my area, I wonder how often cable rates will go up?

And if Comcast does raise rates and VZ follows right behind them, well, I've yet to try Dish or DirecTV here...
