Cable Companies pricing mischief

Location, Location, Location. We all know that location, at least when it comes to real estate is a major factor in determining the monetary value of a home or a vacant piece of property but should location be used to determine the cost of your everyday goods and services.

Case in point. Did you know, or perhaps you already do that cable companies also use this very same ideology or mantra when it comes to determining the rates for their cable customers. Doesn't seem right that an individual would be be penalized and forced to pay higher rates ( the same rate as those cable subscribers who get a heck of a lot more channels) for their cable tv and receive fewer channels because of where they live. Haven't you ever been curious about how much folks one town over are paying for their cable and what their getting for their money. I mean have you ever bothered to question why when you visit a cable companys web site they ask you to provide a street address and zip code before they divulge any pricing information. What's up with that.

Directv, on the other hand, unlike some of their cable company competitors allows you to satisfy your curiosity quickly and easily. You don't have to plug in all kinds of zip codes with a matching addresss in order to get a rate, because Directv's rates unlike their competitors are the same nationwide and if I might be so bold as to borrow from Martha Stewart " that's a good thing". It  doesn't matter to Directv if you live in Paris, Texas or Paris, Maine, you'll still pay the same rate.

Now if you can't say the same thing about your cable companies rates, then maybe it's time to switch to Directv, who in case you don't know has over 95 national hd channels and has been consistently ranked #1 in cutomer satisfaction.

  • DIRECTV vs Cable
  • DIRECTV beats Comcast
    I picked DirecTV because everyone said the quality was better than cable (which it is). I hate Comcast. They were always raising their fees. The bundle they offered intrigued me, until I did a little research and found out what I would actually pay. No thanks! DirecTV has a better price and better picture quality. And Verizon DSL for phone and internet is a better deal too. Easy descision once you know the facts.
