Cable Company "Customer Service" Has Changed...They've gone from "Just the tip" to "Bite the pillow, we're going in dry." |

Comcast is paving the way for more competitionAt $90 per month there is plenty of room for an all fiber competitor to come in and take most of the business. The only thing preventing it are laws restricting muni-fiber and pole access. |

What the wingnuts do not realizeis how much this is hurting this country. This is not just about the rich getting richer. It's about decreasing American competitiveness in the global economy. And this is and will stay a global economy, no matter how many walls Red Baboon builds. Anyone who really thinks that this country can survive if broadband becomes a privilege for the top 25% of the urban dwellers is just not getting it. |

What are the cable and Satellite companies doing...Forcing consumers to draw a line in the sand and say enough! Time to go and actually try to put up that digital antenna to receive OTA tv and only have a cellular phone plan with unlimited data streaming ( t-mobile / sprint) sign up for A services such as netflix and stream it to my device and then screen mirror it to my tv. Essentially Cutting out all the middle men. |

Staying with VerizonIn this area, Comcast wants 74.95/month for just internet, and no landline. They don't even offer an option for internet/phone double-play. Without landline, there's no value, and I'm not interested in cable.
With "offers" like this, I'll be se staying with DSL for the near-future, much to Verizon's dismay. |

This is a surprise?They are going to get their money one way or another. We as consumers have no choice. They sell our information without our consent, when we get our 'entertainment' from the internet instead of their tv packages, up goes the internet price, as well as the tv packages. They've been doing this ever since cord cutting started all the while saying it wasn't happening and they weren't worried.
Well hard to say cord cutting is not happening, but they still aren't worried. Got to get your internet from someone, and in too many cases, it's the same cable company who owns the content you are watching, as well as being the only internet provider in your area. |

the higher the betterI love this kind of hikes. It seems the American public is a wuss that needs to feel the knife to the bone before they rise up against this kind of crap. Its insane how most allow the big corps to milk them for their hard earned cash. I for one will drop everything if it gets past 65. Prices should drop not increase. Tech is cheaper than ever yet, you have to shell out much more for it. ENOUGH! |

Price hikes will just push more people away.More people will find ways to reduce their cable bills. Drop home phone service, reduce or eliminate their TV package, and eventually just go all wireless for their internet. |
