Re: Just another example of Comcrap's predatory prices
Watch your tongue Comcast can do no wrong. They are the alpha and the omega.
After that crack. I agree with you and have to wonder if this is the case, then why not lower the prices everywhere ? Or is it that they are using the profits from other areas to subsidize their losses here.
Comcast and all cable companies should be held to the same standards as any dbs provider. No difference in pricing in any market. dbs providers get a big fine if they do this why can comcast do this and not get fined as well?

Same reason they don't 'tier down' to compete when alternatives arrive; they end up losing subs to their lower priced tiers.
Their answer is to offer up MORE speed. I call it SUV mentality (or mine is bigger, take your pick): Try to sell more of what people don't need because it's worked before and it's all you have. There's an inherent problem here, though ...
Once energy prices rise above median budgetary waterlines, these bottom-line feeding profit whores will have to kiss their marketing gimmicks goodbye and face up to a castrated 'free market' -- debilitated consumer buying power THEY created. They're called Rope salesmen. They sell people the very rope that hangs them in the end.
America's business leaders are destroying their blessed free market by dismantling the very ladders to success that have made our large income gaps palatable. By rewarding themselves for destroying American jobs and manufacturing, as well as engineering and scientific capabilities, our capitalist masters are sowing themselves a temporary whirlwind AND their own destruction.
Forbes reports that the combined compensation of the chief executives of America's 500 largest companies rose 54 percent last year, while Labor Department statistics report the purchasing power of an average non-supervisory worker's wage has fallen about 1.5 percent since the summer of 2003.
They call it freedom but is sure smells like death
