I don't understand how this will get approval. I know they struck down the rule where you couldn't have more than 30% of the market (lobbying? what happened here?) but this will clearly be anti competitive by pretty much any definition. The only companies left in the space will be Cox and smaller regional players, right? I think AT&T U-Verse, Verizon FiOS, and Google Fiber are all fiber based, and DirecTV is satellite service.

I have had horrible customer service experiences with both. TWC came out and cut the wire to my cable for days meaning to have cut it on someone's apartment (why not disconnect it instead if it's in a locked box???) and after trying to get someone out for repairs and being promised 8-5 on a weekday when I had to work, I finally gave up and canceled. The guy asked me what he could do so that I could continue to have TWC, I told him I'd rather have HIV and hung up. Anyone who thinks or buys the argument that they won't do anything in their power to keep prices skyrocketing is kidding themselves. They've escalated prices individually for years.
