Cable Rates Increase In Medford, Mass
Once again Comcast proves “comcastic” is NOT fantastic! Anything But! Goodbye Cable. Hello satellite! I am switching to DIRECTV!!
Not only do Medford residents pay more than almost everyone else in Massachusetts for basic cable, the rates are set to rise again on 2/1/08. Even local government officals are fed up. Now what does that tell you!! The department’s documentation also shows that 53 communities in Massachusetts offer their citizens more than one cable provider to choose from
Many Medford residents will see another increase in the cost of cable television this year and city officials are eager as ever to bring in a second cable provider, hoping that some competition will help regulate pricing. “The New Year is upon us and residents will be getting their New Year’s present from Comcast — higher cable rates,” said City Councilor Michael Marks. At a City Council meeting last Tuesday, Marks expressed some aggravation about the ever-climbing price of cable television. Comcast has to raise rates to increase corporate profits to fund its ever increasing executive compensation packages. Just google “Comcast CEO salary” of you don’t believe me, its insane what that guy makes every year. Cut his salary by 50% and its still more than 10 million and give the subscribers a break for once!
People all across the country who are sick of cable rate increases are switching to DIRECTV.
They offer the best price for more HD channels than any Cable company or the other satellite dealer, better customer service (According to JD Powers 3 years running), and their call centers are in America not Asia!
