this is called "the golden rule"----put differently, those with the gold, rule. they raise the rates simply because they can raise the rates. there is a point where many of us will say "wow---let's check that fios thing for isp and let's check dishnetwork for tv". the dumbest thing any company in any industry can do is to act like they are indispensable. while many of us rely on comcast, life indeed could go on quite well if we did verizon & dishnetwork. bub
