Re: gee, ya think... IF THEY NEVER HAD THE CUSTOMER, THEN IT WASN'T THEIR'S TO LOSE IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Any court of law is going to tell you that you can't be paid on potential gains.. I think that high up in our land will dictate the same through out.. Who's to say they lost them to FiOS? How do you know they weren't not gained by the dish providers?
It's not a "loss" becuase there was nothing gained.. AND, since the whole economy is on a down turn together, not many people are gaining at all anyway.. FURTHER.. if EVERYONE is at a down turn, and Comcast stayed flat, maybe they DID gain.. maybe they staved off losses which IS a gain..
Stop with the fanboi arguments.. they don't work. I know you want to hate comcast and cable in general.. good for you.. shout it from a mountain top.. but to sit here and try to tell me I'm wrong at the same time of you simply saying so.. well, I can't help you.
YOU CAN'T LOSE WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE!
You want to simply see it your way.. that's fine for you.. but the rest of the world will see it for what it is.. YOU CAN'T LOSE WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE!
I swear... I'd go on, but the mods would remove this post! |

2 edits | When a Verizon tech went into someones house last month.. removed a Comcast cable modem and 3 set-top boxes, that wasnt a LOSS for Comcast? Interesting.
This didnt happen once though. It happened a thousand times. Last quarter Vz added 300k video subs. According to you, Comcast didnt lose any customers or any other cable company for that matter, please tell me where these 300k subscribers came from. Actually... dont... because this is just a glass half empty or half full argument.

1 edit | I didn't write the article or the numbers.. but thank you for making this about me and not the article.. or did you not read?
Let me recap for you:
Comcast CEO Brian Roberts told investors at a Sanford Berstein conference today in New York City that the company was still struggling with the recession and slow housing boom. "We’re really not seeing a surging of disconnects," notes Roberts. "We’re just not seeing a surging of orders,” he says. While Comcast still had a pretty spectacular first quarter in terms of earnings and subscriber additions, the company says they're seeing some slowdowns as we move through the second quarter. According to Roberts, "there are just less opportunities to sell new things right now." |
