I recently switched job locations from Richmond VA to Pascagoula MS, and in this move lost the Verizon FIOS I was liking in Richmond and was forced to use a local company, Cable One.

After 4 weeks of internet signal basically equivalent to 3 cajuns rubbin sticks together complain about "da earl gettin in their shrimp"... I decided it was time to address this issue. After speaking with them I was basically told flat out "oh yeah it does that sometimes"... as taking my money for intermittent, hogwash is acceptable.

But heres the best part. I recently observed that Cable One has entered into a dispute with Viacom and has refused to carry Comedy Central and Spike. No fear I thought because I'll simply watch the new season of South Park on ww.southparkstudios.com but lo and behold to my amazement when I stumbled upon this pretty little gem:

ummm WTF... who are you to tell me how I use a service I PAY FOR

someone please explain how its legal for a company to tell you how you will use your internet service? Whats the difference between this and a Broadcast company that happens to support Obama not allowing me to view any news sites that happen to bad mouth him?

I don't really see it as a legal issue. You're paying them, and therefore entered a contract agreement with them. You have the choice to either comply, or switch services. No one is making you stay with them and in a free market, their business will break.
