subject: Cable Tv Directv Compare For Yourself [print this page] With the constant rate hikes cable tv customers are always being subjected to perhaps it's time for the subscribers to ask their cable providers the words from the title of Janet Jackson's hit lead single from her "Control" album. The words, "What Have You Done For Me Lately".
Studies and reports have shown that the rate hikes imposed on cable tv subscribers has fast outpaced the rate of inflation and it doesn't appear that this trend will end anytime soon. In todays economy, what with the escalating price of food, fuel, clothing and other everyday living expenses people are having to tighten their purse strings and revaluate their budgets. So, because so may of us see cable as an everyday living expense and not a luxury, it only makes sense to question whether or not you're cable company is giving you value for your money, at least in this day and age.
For instance, does you cable provider constantly move you favorite channels to a higher priced programming package or maybe they just drop them all together? Do the rate hikes adequately reflect the number of channels you receive? Is your cable provider keeping up with the competition with regard to channel availibility? Perhaps you cable company, like so many, add new channles to their line- up in dribs and drabs. You know, 2 channels this month and maybe if your lucky you'll receive another 2 or three channels 6 months later.
Next there's the question of "what have you done for me lately" with regard to the quality of customer service. Do you feel that the customer service dept. is just paying you lip service or are they really attentive and interested in helping you resolve you problems.
