Golden, CO | Comcast? Oh wait, they're bumping up against the 33% rule or whatever.
Not really sure who *could* buy them...everyone else is rather regional. Maybe Cox, but I wouldn't think so... |

Big companies don't go bankrupt anymore, they get bailouts. |

TW may not be able to offer any hard numbers but I'll show them some hard numbers when I call up to cancel all my services with them if they bring this to my area.
I'll also do my very best to convince everyone I know to follow me and do the same. Since I already have an established relationship (I'm an on-site local PC tech that fixes computers) with a lot of people in my local area, I can tell them why they need to switch. Over the years I have referred everyone I know on DSL or other services to switch to TW. My success rate is literally 100%. Once someone's local trusted PC tech starts harping over how much better U-verse is they will switch, because they follow my advice. I bet TW would love to have that kind of influence over people.
I only do this though because deep inside I want the best for myself, and those that I help. TW's metered usage plan just makes my job that much easier to recommend a competing providers service.
I can definitely give TW some hard numbers starting with plenty of customer defections once this comes to my area. |

Thank you, precisely my sentiments you have saved my fingers a number of key strokes, I will add, this will go over like the 2006 effort by politicians to provide amnesty to 50 million Mexicans, (who REALLY knows the math?) There was a tremendous backlash against that IDEA...
Just wait, there will be an uprising against this stupidity, Corporations ARE NOT going to steal the internet from us, place a TOLL BOOTH on it, or any other scheme to SCREW OUT of out money OR access to this! (internet)
Corporation's will have completely MISJUDGED the mood of the American people over this issue should they attempt ANOTHER RUN at corporatization of the INTERNET! Not a chance!! |
