Cable companies spend Billions every year on infrastructure upgrades. Read the annual reports. |

Cable companies spend Billions every year on infrastructure upgrades. Read the annual reports. Has their infrastructure spending in absolute dollars increased proportionally as their customer base and revenues have increased? |

I honestly wouldn't know it based upon what I see locally. Many of our utilities seem to be operating on a skeleton maintenance budget. |

For TWC I see only $150 million devoted to upgrades of their $18 billion business. There are a few billion more for maintenance, subscriber boxes, and expansion, but those don't improve customer service to justify massive rate increases. It also appears that TWC's cost of bandwidth per data customer is about $1 per month! |
