Re: Hopefully this forces some changes

News Flash:
No Multi Town Cable Operator maintains pricing throughout it's markets. Richer communities will get smacked harder because they know they won't have to worry about losing customer base to dish for asthetic reasons. Headends are not all the same throughout the markets. Service and Quality of Service is not the same throughout the markets. Therefore pricing will not be the same.

On The Flipside:
Midcontinent Communications have been dropping their prices by up to 50% to attempt to steal my customers away, while at the same time raising prices to the general public in the same community. That is about as dirty of pool as you can play.

I do agree that those massive companies should be forced to publish rates on their websites and stick to them. If they want to steal customers in one community or neighborhood they should be forced to sacrifice profits systemwide. Targeted free installs is one thing, but a recurring discount is not fair for the rest of the customers or the competition.
