So, in an era of deflation, massive job loses, declining property values, plunging commodity prices, and a recession -- Metrocast is justified in raising its prices by 6% and I should just shut up and be happy about it --
because I don't have a clue? Ain't gonna happen, because in spite of all of Metrocast's not-yet-explained excuses, and in defiance of your superior (but not very specifically-stated) knowledge of cable-company finances, their rate increase isn't justifiable. And, instead of "
supposing" a 40% increase in rates if Comcast came in too (where did you get
that unsuported number?), let's just try it and see. I want options. I don't want to keep my mouth shut and let "
Big Cable" dictate my options.
