Ill go with a different provider if i have to pay anymore money for what im getting now. I am already paying a lot for 20/2 and the 250gb soft cap.
Yep no shit. I hate to have to downgrade to 6 Mbps DSL, but I'd rather do that that have to put up with what Charter has planned if they do it. When are these companies going to learn they WILL NOT make more money by doing these things. if you lose even just 5% of your customer base any increase in revenue form the other 95% from the higher prices won't make up for that 5%.

Oh and if Charter is reading if I don't have your internet there's very little incentive for me to have your TV since the $10 fee for not bundling TV with your internet has been partly the reason for me not looking elsewhere. DirecTv has always got some deals going on. So I hope the loss of $1600+ a year from me is worth this bullshit.

Can you not get Telephone or do you use Cell only? I have phone and internet only. I kicked TV to the curb a year ago. Directv was the best move I ever made.

I think the industry attitude towards your point about loosing 5% and the other 95% not making it up has shifted into a 'least effort' mode. These companies seem no longer interested in working for their money. If they loose 5% of low margin customers, but can then fire 5% of their workforce, that is a win to them.

I don't need phone service since I use cell. So that's not an issue. at&t offers naked DSL. I've had their DSL before it's not bad, it's just that it's not 20 mbps or even 10 mbps. The 10 mbps tier has 2 Mbps upload. At&t 6 mbps tops out at 512 kbps. Right now Charter 10 Meg tier is only $2 more than at&t naked DSL 6 Meg tier. So it's currently a better deal. If Charter continues with their metered billing shit then I'll have no choice but to leave.

If there was a low barrier to entry I`m sure he or some other entreprising individual would try. Too bad there`s a huge barrier of entry.

Am I crying? No. Do I as a PAYING cusotmer have a right to complain? yes. Do I as an AMERICAN have the right to change my sevices to another company if the one I'm with doesn't satisfy me? yes. It's amazing you are geting on my case for contemplating switching companies. Now why would any freedom loving, capitalism loving American be against CHOICE?

Why is it you logic that if you don't like the company you have that the ONLY solution is to put up with it or run your own company instead of trying out their competition. I really don't understand your logic.

So according to you if the grocery store I normally go to raises it's prices instead of just shopping elsewhere I should just put up with the high prices or open my own store.
