Re: Karl...

you mean anti-cable pro Telco.

You just don't get great ratings in those magazines without doing anything. I bet if you go back and ask the same few "customers" they asked if they knew the difference between FiOS over cable they'll tell you no. Or U-Verse over Cable. They won't except tell you what AT$T or VZ's sales reps told them.

And also this was back before AT$T and VZ announced price increases. $10 more for 100 channels on U-Verse HA! Yes 100 channels for $64 you can't count those "U-Verse" channels as they're "customer information" and you can't count music channels either.

"You just don't get great ratings in those magazines without doing anything."

While some people may question the results for various reasons. I think most people would consider Consumer Reports fairly unbiased over the years. The taking no advertising may just be a marketing ploy but I don't think it is. At the very least it takes some of the pay to play aspect out of the equation. Unless you aware of something the rest of us aren't.

I would agree that some sites have questionable reviews do to who they accept advertising from. But this isn't always the case. I can tell you that over the years I've been critical of many companies that help pay my bills some months.
