man you should be a cult leader or something…every post you have involves other people doing your plan…why not do it yourself and stop posting about it? if you dont like the fees…dont pay them. if you dont like time warner, dont pay them to provide a service. when you sign up for service thats all your getting, they rent you equipment to use it or you can buy your own. same with cell phones…you pay a service then need to buy a device to use it. time warner, same with cell phone carries do not lose money like you think they do when they lower someones bill. the structure and network is already built you are just paying for a service, which is their profit. > [@NHL Draft \*\*now the official NHL OFFSEASON thread\*\*](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nhl-draft-now-the-official-nhl-offseason-thread/50350/189): > > if people used their fucking heads we could put all the big business people in our pockets, not the other way around.

They have hundereds of friends who do too. Make a “we hate TWC in amsterdam” FB group. Get a few thousand of people to follow it. Pick a date, and everyone bombards the branch with “I want to leave and go to dish, your too expensive.” then post up how much they got deducted from their bill. It will show the favoritisim from the managment in who gets what. Unfair business practice. And it will without a doubt make for a shitty work day for managment, and maybe they will address it to regional or higher. AND it will put some profit loss on the chart for them. > > it takes effort, something 99:100 people dont put forth. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/time-warner-to-begin-charging-monthly-fees-to-use-their-modems/265241)._
