Cable and internet service providers are responsible for not only maintaining the internet, but even the phone. If you have to call your ISP, you may have to change your ISP, so that your Internet service is available to you.
Of course when you think about it that’s a lot of people, but it also means that you may have to give up any future plans to go on vacation. With this in mind, cable and internet service providers in the US are very much like any other company in the business world. We can all probably agree that a company’s executives and employees are responsible for ensuring that their company maintains a good product. But as the saying goes, if you can’t beat ’em, eat ’em.
Companies have the right to make their own rules. And when they say they have a contract with you they are not lying, they are telling you the truth. That’s because the internet is an open market which means any company can sign a contract with anyone and claim to have a contract with that person. This doesn’t mean that I have to like it, but it is a fact that everyone has a right to be heard.
There is a lot of gray area in the internet, so it has its own rules. But as long as everyone has a right to be heard then you can’t say you dont like something because someone else has the right to be heard.
Of course, I have to agree with you. Cable companies should not be allowed to sign contracts with their customers, but they are allowed to do so if they are making a profit. I for one have been paying for television for over a decade and I dont know of any internet service company that has ever lied to me.
In my area, we are allowed to have both cable TV and our internet service, so if you want to be able to access cable TV while running your cable internet (to watch HBO, Showtime, etc) then you must have the cable company sign a contract with your internet service provider. Of course, you have to pay for internet service as well, so the cable companies that are paying you for the internet service may not want that as customer.
The major cable companies are probably not happy with the fact that they are having this problem. So the cable companies have decided to offer us more options, like HBO, Showtime, etc – which is actually a great idea because they could offer us the service without paying a dime for the service. This is one of the reasons why we have to pay the cable companies $800 each month.
This is a great idea, but since cable companies are not paying the bills, their customers are left wondering whether they should even bother with internet service.
I think it’s more likely that this is a political decision rather than a company decision. However, I have spoken to at least one person who said they would have paid a lot more for cable if they had known there was no way you could cancel your internet service during the month.
