Cable: Higher Rates or Less Channels?

I'm disturbed by this campaign. I'm a consumer and frankly Time Warner is the premium cable operator in my area. I pay almost 50% more for their service. They need to roll over and provide the channel lineup they commit too, or simply reduce the channels they offer and make their price competitive. Lets face it. Whatever results are garnered from this study could easily be overinflated. This is nothing more than a sob-story play by them and the customer's concerns left on their "survey" site will likely be screened and only those aligned with their corporate strategy will be passed along to the broadcasters. Time Warner comes across as a sissy crybaby on a playground during recess in this campaign instead of acting like a national corporation. The Fortune 500 company I work for (Finance industry) would never advertise in such a shady and biased way. Shame on Time Warner. Sell commercials during these slots to make up your losses instead of pandering to customers for unjust sympathy.

I feel the price increase is wrong for a couple of reasons. 1)they might save money if they cut back on all the many, many tv ads they put on tv, we are tired of seeing them on every channel. 2) they also have 5 acct. ex. why not down size like everyone else is, during this rough time we all are. And stop showing the same all damned shows, and movies.
