Television has come a long way since the days of rabbit ear antennas on top of TV boxes weighing over one hundred pounds. Now, you can get a TV so flat you are afraid a stiff breeze might break it, and a little box can get you hundreds of channels. That little box obviously comes […]
We’ve heard some horror stories about cable companies charging customers outrageous fees, horrible customer service, and refusing to fix mistaken bills. But this story takes the cake. A Tampa Bay family decided to cut the Comcast cord after months of being charged for porn they did not order. And before you say “sure, they CLAIM […]
Now, it’s not too surprising that the FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler recommended that the commission approve Charter Communications’ plan to buy Time Warner Cable, but we were hoping that maybe he would come to his senses and realize just how STUPID that would be. We were wrong. Anyone who thinks this is a good idea […]
2015 was the year of the cord cutter. We have dubbed it so. People cut the cord in record numbers, thrilled to finally break free from their unhealthy relationship with cable. There’s not just one thing or moment that we can pinpoint that drove people to this breaking point, but we have a few theories. […]
On a recent episode of HBO’s Last Week Tonight, host John Oliver articulates the truth about the Comcast/Time Warner Cable merger, “You can’t reduce competition when nobody is competing. You could not be describing a monopoly more clearly if you were wearing a metal top hat while driving a metal car after winning second prize […]
A few weeks back, we delivered a congratulatory cake to Comcast CEO Brian Roberts. Thanks to their record-breaking poor customer service, Comcast was voted the Worst Company in America on Consumerist.com. While we were in town, we decided to ask the good people in the City of Brotherly Love how they felt about their cable […]
Each year more people are joining the cognitively superior hoard of cord cutters. But, if you are still on the fence and debating the value of an HD-antenna, we’ve prepared a list for you. Here are six things (more useful and healthy than cable TV) that you can purchase with the money you save when […]
Comcast has done it again! We felt extremely compelled to write about the city of Huntington, West Virginia after reading an article in the Huntington Herald-Dispatch. Comcast, the most hated company in America, has now turned to terrorizing the town of Huntington. In this article Sabrina Thomas, a librarian at Marshall University, had such a […]
When you say, “Thank you,” it’s important that you really mean it.
So we mean it, when we thank the executives at Time Warner Cable. They, once again, are raising prices to rebroadcast free, over-the-air content. Thanks to the backward business practices of cable executives, we just keep getting more and more customers. It’s truly so generous of them. Rather than use lofty language as praise for cable’s growing irrelevance, we decided to show a tangible sign of our appreciation. We delivered a cake right to their front door.
Even the most technical savvy of people are deciding to cut the cable cord. National Consumer Electronics Editor Julie Jacobson recently blogged about her Journey to Cut the Cable Cord. However, cutting the cord is not as easy as the task sounds. In a recent survey: 11 percent of U.S. consumers had considered canceling their […]
If we could imagine the inside of Comcast’s headquarters, I am guessing it would look a little something like Barry White’s bedroom, with shag carpets, low lighting, velvet walls and one of his silky love songs playing softly in the background. While that sounds great for “the love walrus,” we’re assuming parents wouldn’t want their […]
