I seriously wish there was another cable company around here as an alternative, but there isn’t. You can either choose to pay for John Rigas to show up to court in $1,000 suits and a limo, or you can sit here and bitch about Adelphia like I’m doing!!! I don’t pay them a cent!!!

If you had your facts straight this wouldn’t be a problem for you. Rigas has nothing to do with the company. He hasn’t for 2 years, maybe a little longer than that. The company is currently owned by a guy named Ron Cooper. You do know that Rigas is serving time right? So next time you see him on TV, you can THINK Adelphia but he has nothing to do with the cmpany now.

You do realize that when Adelphia does become Time Warner, it is just going to be a nmae change. Also, even with the increased Adelphia rates, we are still currently cheaper then Time Warner offering the same packages.

How does giving you the NORMAL price of Powerlink as a STANDALONE a penalty if a customer cancels tv services?
