Re: Content drives the cost structure
We don't have a choice. You have Buckeye as ATT is not expanding past what they have. They're only in areas they're in now due to Ohio made them.
And again as said before even by me. You can't claim people are dumping TWC for AT$T as soon as it comes available. That's not what happens. In fact it has been shown over and over again most people will keep their same provider due to they're afraid of change and they're flat out happy with them.
ATT is actually more for their services than TWC.
And you can NOT access any AT$T hotspot. Most of them are still Prem. Spots DSL users do not get access to. Most of them are at Starbucks and Mc.D's.
Why should they. They'll be a point in day when you'll go back to them. Why? ATT will kill off their TV network just the way they SBC took over Ameritech with Americast.
ATT won't be able to stay in the market for the long haul. Especially as more and more programming is staying private.
And your over 200 channels with AT$T! LMAO! They count their "private network customer only channels" you can't count them, but they do.
Also anyone that believes AT$T and what they have to say shouldn't have cable anyway and should be watched by the NSA. |

| Then explain to me why most everyone I know, when they have a choice, do not choose Time Warner. They subscribe to satellite, a competing cable service or Uverse.
And if AT&T kills off their video services (highly unlikely), I can go to satellite.
I'm getting channels that I didn't even know existed before switching. Did you know that The Weather Channel has a HD channel? They do.
Have you even tried Uverse or are you just blindly knocking their services? |

| Yes I did know the Weather Channel is in HD. Remember I have one of the best cable companies in the country. They maybe small and regional but they still hit BBR front page three times (even if the one was from calling the Feds). And the key word with your first sentence is "MOST everyone I know" thats NOT everyone in your town/city.
And why wouldn't they? If it doesn't make them any money what are they going to do? Kill it. The same as SBC did with Americast. They're in business to make money not to lose it.
Why should I have U-Verse when I AM happy with my cable company and I have better services and faster internet than you will ever have with U-Verse.
Also I Pay MUCH less than you for services and will always pay less than you. |

| Maybe you didn't read my previous posts. It's good for Toledo that they have a cable company like Buckeye. Most areas of Ohio don't have that option. Most areas in Ohio, the cable company has a monopoly and it shows through customer service and pricing.
If Buckeye were available in my area, I would consider them and see if they were the best deal. But they are not in my area so I will make do with what I have and I found U-Verse to be the best deal for me. If it gets to a point where U-Verse is no longer the best deal, then I can reconsider my options. But I am fortunate in that I have options. |

| Buckeye is in more cities now that they can just go to the State and expand. They now have parts of Wood County, more of Erie and Huron Counties and parts of Sandusky County now. You may have them before you know it.
But you also consider U-Verse to offer more in fact they're more after you factor in STBs and their "200 channels" comes out to be less due to the fact they factor in the Music Channels and "ATT Blue room channels"
But also claimed that everyone in Stow is dropping TWC which i said is hardly unlikely. |
