I figured since I'm a long time E* customer now I'd post this rant here since many of you might be in the same situation.
I have cable internet. With Charter. I've had it for years now. Unfortunately there's no competition here in Oregon and so charter can charge whatever they want... and they do. Really they price gouge in my opinion but maybe that's just me.
But that's not what this rant is about (though it could be... LOL). I'm ranting about their prices for television service. I, from time to time, check their pricing just to see if/how they compete with E* (and D* for that matter). I just checked again this morning. It's crazy! for what you can get for like 30 bucks with E* they're wanting 55.
I don't understand how this company is still in business. Apparently enough people don't know any better but to use them for service I guess. What's funny is the sales guy didn't even try to sell me (I had to actually talk with someone since they don't post their rediculous prices on their website). He just said "sorry" when I told him that the price for their most basic dig cable package was way more than what I pay already for what is surely many more chans right now with E*.
Anyway... just thought I'd share. I'm sure most of you can relate.
