Thanks for proving my point, and contradicting yourself, all in the same line of text.
Reality is thousands, no hundreds of thousand's of people not only buying their equipment but also wearing JD apparel. And proudly so. Mass market consumers (your words),,,that proudly sport their loyalty. Of course you and your group (comcast) performed a comprehensive study () and found out that consumers were not loyal. That is some precious bullshit.

Companies really do "truly understand" the dynamics of customer loyalty. We researched the issue very comprehensively, and perhaps the scary part for consumers it that consumers, as a group, were found out.

Found out what??? That consumers wish for the highest quality service at the lowest price possible??? Now that is scary!!!
Kindergarten kids could tell you this. And you were part of a comcast study This be to good.

I have never worked for Comcast. You know that, so at this point, your posting anything to the contrary constitutes lying on your part. You also know by now that I post the same sort of information regarding Time Warner, Charter, Cox, Cablevision, as well as Verizon, RCN, Dish Network and DirecTV. So claiming that I work for Comcast, given that I say essentially the same things with regard to all of Comcast's competitors is not only lying, but literally ridiculous.

I also post the same capitalist perspective with regard to other aspects of life too, though perhaps you don't know that, i.e., American Airlines, Disney, General Electric, AT&T, Wal-Mart, Amazon.com, Best Buy, and so many others. I'm a capitalist, who is concerned about all aspects of society, while you apparently just care about what you choose to claim is owed to you, despite there being no such obligation. As such, you're a "me-ist". Your points have no validity, because they are predicated only on your believe that it is always only all about you and what you want and what gives you personal gratification.

I spent the first part of my working life as an expert in the area of quality management and customer loyalty. The reason why I got out of that line of work is because it became clear that increasingly mass-market consumer loyalty was of no value to mass-market consumers business whatsoever. Mass-market consumers are hardly ever loyal to companies. They're not even loyal to quality service.

They can be loyal to low prices, though. That's pretty common.

Companies really do "truly understand" the dynamics of customer loyalty. We researched the issue very comprehensively, and perhaps the scary part for consumers it that consumers, as a group, were found out. What mass-market service providers do is the best indicator of what we found out. Now we all suffer from the fact that companies really do "truly understand" the dynamics of customer loyalty. We, as consumers, were better off when companies didn't know.
You refuse to acknowledge the reality. You are continually confused and frustrated by what you encounter as a result. And you seek to spread this cluelessness onto others ... that is the worst part of it.

Oh and when Comcast starts selling jackets, let me know.

What cluelessness,,,that consumers wish for the highest quality of service at the lowest price possible???? Psst, hint,,,this has been going on for thousands of years. But your study was that the consumer was found out????? Found out what? that the comsumer wants the highest quality of service at the lowest price possible. rather simple.

whats the problem Bicker? Can't answer the question so you revert to personal attacks? A majority of your post's support comcast, if me be wrong to assume that you work for them, so be it. But to defend their practice as vehemently as you do, makes one believe that you be on their payroll. Me be not the only one to make the assertion. And when one goes on a mini-rant describing how they explain capitolism about other industries,,,,,,makes one wonder even more if you be a comcast rep. If you are, help the company get a new rep. If you are not, then me be wrong. So what was "found out"?

When you're called-out, you just resort to more and more lies. We've dealt with your self-centered, ignorant "you must work for Comcast" idiocy many times, so you cannot claim that golly gee you didn't know that you were wrong, yet again. You can't lie your way out of the reality.

Please point out me lies. If you work for them, you do. If you don't, you don't. Your post's lead one to assume that you do. Still can't answer the question, "What was found out"? Or was me correct on that consumers want the highest quality of service at the lowest price possible? Quit with the charade and answer the simple question.

I've already pointed out your lies. Your self-absorption is very impressive, though. It is amazing just how effectively you've been able to delude yourself into thinking that you're actually being reasonable. You're beyond ridiculous, now: A parody of yourself.

And still cant answer the question. What is so hard about defending what you posted? It was your study that came to the conclusion that the consumer was "found out". All me ask is what was found out? Instead you call me a liar, self absorbed, delusional, and beyond ridiculous. If you cannot answer the question, just say so. If you refuse to answer, like you have done in the previous few post's, you be but a charade. If you can answer, please do so. Rather simple.

I already answered you. You simply refuse to acknowledge the truth. You fear the truth, because it highlights the inane and puerile game you have been playing for years.

And just where in any of your post's did you answer me question to this - Companies really do "truly understand" the dynamics of customer loyalty. We researched the issue very comprehensively, and perhaps the scary part for consumers it that consumers, as a group, were found out.

All me be asking is,,,what was found out???? You have not answered, but instead have dodged the question by tossing bullshit me way. You have basically called me everything from linguistically challenged to a downright liar,,,but yet you refuse to defend your own post. What truth may me fear? That you may be correct?? So be it. If me be so challenged as to not understand your response, that according to you has already been answered, please explain again, in simpler terms, so that a challenged individual such as meself can understand. Better yet, don't explain, because you know as well as me,,,,,,,,their is no explanation for your lame diatribe.

You're feigned ignorance is not convincing. You aren't that stupid. I'll reproduce the message for you. If you really were that myopic and missed the point of it, I'll bold the important part for you.

They can be loyal to low prices, though. That's pretty common.
Again, I don't believe a claim you make about what you didn't understand. You're essentially lying. Every time you fall back on your own yarn, accusing people of working for the company you enjoy attacking like a rabid dog, you're lying. You've done it so much, here, that you've going from simply "lying" to now be a "liar". Repeat a lie often enough, and you shall get painted with that brush of being a liar from now on.

Its settled, If you dont like the service, cancel it. If you werent smart enough to read the fine print, dont complain about it. Learn from it. No matter how large a company is, it will always depend on the hard core loyal customer base. More and more of that customer base is eroded by factors such as price/value. Its a process that goes on and on. You will lose customers, you hopefully will gain others. If not, no worry, the company will eventually be gone and another will step in to take its place. GL

Two thumbs up.

If you want a preview of what subscription television will look like in five to ten years, see the airline industry.
