This is an example of the free market at work. A borderline monopoly that has no real competition and therefore has no incentive at all to innovate, provide quality service or even in my case provide the service paid for. 

 

It's a government-created monopoly. It's not a "free market" in any sense of the word.


 

Not every business responds to the customer. In a free market, those that don't fail. If Comcast is that bad, why are people still buying their product? The reason is that the city GOVERNMENT has given Comcast a monopoly. Just about every government 'service' is a monopoly. The few that aren't will sometimes respond to competition, as the Post Office has to competition from FedEx and UPS.

 

Can you think of any government 'service' that has noticeably improved since its creation? Not the DMV. Not the federal highway department. Not the VA. Not inner city police departments. Not public schools. Not the Social Security Administration. Not the IRS. Not NASA.
