Every time there's an article about this, everyone conflates internet and cable services. This article/survey/discussion is about cable television only, not internet availability/service/options.

Survey results don't surprise me at all, though I don't see how bringing in another service will may a huge difference considering the contracts that Charter needs to sign with content providers to be able to carry them. Hence why you always see end-of-year commercials about "DirectTV will not longer be carrying TimeWarner channels" or things like that.

I can agree that their prices were getting outrageous which is why I dropped cable tv a few years ago.
