| how can they do this? I signed a year contract when I joined up, and part of this means if a better deal came along, I was locked-in with RCN. But I also thought this meant RCN couldn't raise my prices while I was locked-in with them.
Overall I'm much happier with RCN than I was with time warner. I have better service- internet, phone, tv- and at a much much better price. but i'm not sure how they can do this if you signed a one year agreement at a certain price!?
time to call the NY AG's office  | |
| Its because there is no competition for broadband services, these guys have a negotiated monopoly in the areas they operate. They can control rates because they have either weak competition or no competition in their areas or they make deals to keep rates high. Look at any other developed country and see if their ISP services have such a monopoly. I'll bet its rare. Want lower rates? One of two methods Government regulation or more competition. (The only two options I know of) | |
