Re: Bundled services said by Kaltes:
this price hike was STRUCTURED to attack satt tv services.
If you need any more proof of that I have the notification letter, Comcast is so brazen that the letter includes an offer to BUY BACK your Satt dish RIGHT AFTER they announce the price hike.
Comcast/ATT Broadband has been running the Dish buy-back campaign for at least 2 years. They structured the price hike because they realized cable modem customers received basic cable whether they paid for it or not. Therefore, the ongoing dish buy-back campaign is not "proof" that the recent price hike is structured to attack satellite services. Not that I don't think the price hike seems a bit much, but your reasoning is flawed. |

Los Angeles, CA | My point was that they included that offer in the notification letter immediately after announcing the price increase. It was the only offer included in the notification letter.
The fact that the dish buyback was juxtaposed with the price hike in this fashion is significant, and it reflects the intent of Comcast.
I know the Dish buyback offer is not new. I know cable internet customers get Tv service as well unless Comcast puts something on the line to stop that from happening. I plugged my cable modem feed into my TV to check, and it did not provide me with any TV service.
Your arguments in no way demonstrate that my point was in any way flawed. Comcast can easily prevent internet customers from receiving free TV service. Even if they couldnt, how is a layperson going to splice in a splitter to take advantage of it? |
