RR / Cable Broadband pricing

[zscoundrel]

You can complain to the rate commission, but I doubt it would do any good.

Three days before Everest was scheduled to start activating people in my 
neighborhood, RR knocked on my door and dropped my monthly service from 
$120 to $80.  Which was the exact same price Everest was asking. 
Everest would have still been cheaper because they offer phone service 
too, and that knocks off another $50 and TW can't do anything about that!!!
