3 edits | It's a Factor of a bad economy in action I think you we see a lot more churn in all providers numbers as the fuel and food prices increase and people shop around to get the best deal on TV, Phone, and Internet as I think most people do not want to give up their cable/satellite TV entirely but do need to keep the costs as low as possible. Cable and Telco Triple-Pay packages certainly have Dish and DirecTV at a disadvantage. I know I was paying about $162 a month for Digital Cable with 2 premiums, 8M/768K Internet Service, and Vonage for voice. Went to the Comcast Triple Play for two years and now I pay $160 for the same thing + 3 additional premiums (Total of 5 - HBO, Max, TMC, Showtime, and Starz). More service for a little less money is hard to say no to. Not to mention the convenience of only one bill. |
