Cable company logic: "Our predatory anti-consumer practices are really pro-consumer"
(discuss.tchncs.de)
Will anyone actually buy this argument?
a threat that doesn't pass even the slightest sniff test, any significant raise in prices would leave them open for a competitor to undercut them.
For what I understand, a lot of places in US have only a single provider available, so no competition. And when towns try to run their own broadband infrastructure they get sued by Internet companies.
broadband? Isn't this specifically about cable TV, not Internet communication?
luckily theres also 5G wireless home internet and starlink, usually also telecom land options as well.
Yet another problem the free market will surely solve aaaaany minute now.
You mean the one other provider in the area? They raised prices too because it's be easier to pump existing customers for more than entice people to switch.
