lol was just gonna post that.grr thinks thats fair probably. boo fucking hoo to those having to spend a measly 500 dollars per dvr.
they shouldnt need dvrs since almost everythings available on the internet, right? what a bunch of losers those guys are who have to pay that up.
lol@$500 for their DVR's. I bet they cost cableone ~$50. They are on ebay for $99.

Right, the customers are the idiots because they signed a contract making them liable for the equipment? They wouldn't have to pay if they had insurance.
I insist that my renters have insurance, it's not my problem if they choose to ignore my advice. At my house, which is rented, I have a policy on it to cover medical liability damages at up to $10k/person before it breaks into the business liability claim coverage, and full replacement coverage on the structure (which includes major appliances, flooring, etc) with sewer and/or sump pump back-up coverage. At my studio, I have a $50k policy on equipment, but that is not a personal line, it covers everyone's equipment. My auto policy has the highest rental limitations and personal injury protection, plus a roadside assistance 800 number that gets me help right away, and I am covered when I deliver pizza. My watch is specifically included on my rental policy, and my last cellular phone was itemized on it until I decided the cheaper route is to use the insurance offered through Verizon. My satellite stuff is covered by the extra couple of dollars per month charge, and my DSL is also covered under a similar offering. This is just property insurance, no life or medical.
I'm in a prime position to say that the people without insurance on their stuff deserve to lose it. Grr is right, and I expect that most of those on here that aren't voicing thoughts are all thinking the same thing.
I'm all for helping with the immediate need of short-term housing, or some other staple of civilized life, especially when I am aware that only a few of us have the kind of liquid assets necessary to subsist until insurance picks up the tab, and there are some times when nothing else is available. Supporting these people because they won't do it themselves? I won't be part of that; that's empowering their laziness.
If you feel so sorry for these people, and you think they aren't wrong for refusing to insure themselves, then I assume you are offering all of the assets you have available to help them? Put your money where your mouth is, I am.

you dont think its the least bit tacky of cable one to be charging separate customers for smoke damage if if they werent liable for starting the fire?
this will blow up in cableones face i bet.

There is a difference between thinking and voicing an opinion, but I guess I'm used to tip-toeing around peoples feelings. In my opinion, very rarely do people change their minds, so why try?For the cable one deal, I think they have screwed over enough people already so f-em, they can write it off on taxes (unless less they made too much money???). This will really put a lasting impression on the F-M area.

Here's the thing. You signed an agreement with Cable One that you'd take care of their property. then you let it catch on fire.
Is this Cable One's fault?
It doesn't matter that these people didn't start the fire -- they agreed to return CableOne's property and now they're not going to.
CableOne should refuse to offer service to these folks who "wont pay, on principle". They can claim that they don't do business with people who sign agreements they don't intend to honor.
Not that I like Cable One, but I also don't like people who don't take responsibility, and think the world owes them something, and that the cheif dynamic of their life is claiming "it's not my fault".
Guess what, assholes: it's not cable one's fault either. You have no right to expect them to take it in the shorts.

Should cable one spread that loss over all its customers? If so, are you signing up to have your bill go up?
It's not the fire victims fault their shit caught on fire. But it's certainly not cable ones fault (so they shouldn't be on the hook), and it's not your fault either (so you shouldn't be charged higher cable prices either).
The only moral solution is to assign the costs solely to the person who did not fulfill their contract: the fire victims. Everyone else did what they were supposed to do: it's unfair to penalize them.
this will blow up in cableones face i bet.
It will, because Americans are more socialist than they care to admit. Spread the wealth, spread the poison. That's how most Americans think about things. But cableone is in the right to demand people uphold their end of a signed contract. Once contracts don't matter, the world falls apart.

I expected cable one to make them buy new ones, but not for $500 hell even i know those pos arn't worth that. And the fact they bring it up asap means there a bunch of losers. I'm waiting along with many for midco. You just wait and see what cable one profits are once that shit is available.
-
I am sure Cable One didn't start calling subscribers asking for money. People went to Cable One to cancel service and Cable One billed them. I am sure they bill higher amounts on the contract so people are less likely to trash the dvr's. I am betting that Cable One will lower the final cost in this case, but they should have had their staff ready to handle this mess sooner. Now they have soured their rep in the eyes of the public.

You keep thinking that, I will deal with the gorilla in the room.

sounds more like hes taking hits at irresponsible people who expect people to bend over when things dont go their way ( not specifically the fire victims, the lazy people of fargo street mostly). which i think is warranted.

Seriously, who gives a shit. Their fucking DVR's are $99 on eBay. Who charges someone $1k for something that is available so cheaply. Oh yeah, thats right, cableone is one of the biggest piece of shit cable companies in the country. Theres a reason they aren't in any big metro areas.
