Re: Not surprised...

I dumped them back in December after their last round of price increases. Now I use AT&T for DSL and get my television (which I seldom watch) over the air for free.

Sorry Comcast, you just aren't worth it in this economy. I'm unemployed so I must cut expenses wherever I can.
Problem is that At&T is doing that exact same thing. We lose anyway. You will pay either Comcast or At&T or some other company. Capitalism is sure terrible. Comapnies can raise prices many times a year and if we jump ship, the competitor does the excat same thing, eventually

It's not capitalism thats the problem here, it's decades of lobbying of our federal regulators and failed FCC policies and oversights that would prevent collusive anti-consumer behavior.
DC looks like a pseudo geriatric day care center with pols with no knowledge technology whatsoever. This will only get worse!

Lack of competition

Many areas that Comcast serves are effective duopolies, some effective monopolies, and only a few are where Comcast has more than two effective competitors for most of its services. Verizon, one of its competitors has even stopped expanding. Unregulated duopolies and monopolies get to do pretty much whatever they want and usually screw consumers.
