Comcast Says Time Warner Merger Will Mean Faster Internet

[borisof007]

Yeah, improve speeds for the existing customer base of Comcast. Time Warner's service sucks donkey balls and will probably improve. Comcast's current subscriber base gets screwed over again. I hope this gets blocked. We don't need more M&A's, we need more competition.

If they used all the money they stockpile from insane service rates and put it towards upgrading the infrastructure in the first place instead of buying up every other company in the country, their lame "customers will benefit..." all would be a moot to begin with.

nailed it

Ummm.. hell no. These companies already rank up with Monsanto as soul-sucking evil... we don't need to hand them a "screw us even more please" permit.

lol pretty much

Regulation did some pretty wonderful things to the ISP market here in NZ - trashed Telecom's monopoly and dropped prices and increased competition.
