[Vision2020] A Spectrum is now Haunting the Palouse!

[Nicholas Gier]

Good Morning Visionaries:

I'm sure many of you saw the slick ad for Spectrum, the replacement for
Time Warner Cable.  The front page offer was too good to be true: TV +
Internet + Voice for $29.99/month.

I'm currently paying $93/month for about 9 channels and internet, so I
thought I would call.

The woman and her supervisor had never heard of this deal, but they did
offer me equivalent service for $130/month!  Needless to say, I lost my
temper and went on a rant about cable monopolies and how other countries
offer far superior service--either as a public service (South Korea with
the highest speeds in the world) or the UK, where many companies offer
competitive prices in most markets.

For those not using Time Warner/Spectrum, what services are you using and
how is the speed and reliability?  How is Frontier working out for those
who have it?

A specter is indeed haunting the Palouse, but it is not Communism; rather,
it is monopolistic capitalism.

Still steaming from Spectrum's Scam,

-Greek proverb

“Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed immaturity.
Immaturity is the inability to use one’s understanding without guidance
from another. This immaturity is self- imposed when its cause lies not in
lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without
guidance from another. Sapere Aude! ‘Have courage to use your own
understand-ing!—that is the motto of enlightenment.

--Immanuel Kant
