If you\'re like me and live in an area where you can only get one HORRIBLE cable provider, who essentially does whatever they want(overcharging and taking MONTHS to correct their mistake, and sometimes even charging you for their mistakes) with blatant disregard for their customers because they know they can get away with it because they\'re your ONLY choice. Then take a stand for media democracy and sign this petition. Hopefully with enough signatures we can get the FCC to change their rules and boundary regulations, to allow ALL cable companies to be available EVERYWHERE. So please sign, and tell your friends, family and neighbors.

I am reading through the accounts you are leaving about being trapped by these companies and it is infuriating to see how many of us are being fleeced. My own internet bill went up again for no reason so I know exactly why you are all so frustrated. I am currently reaching out to local officials to see if we can force a conversation about these outdated boundaries.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that I am not the only one trapped in this cycle of terrible service and unfair pricing. It feels incredible to know so many of you are just as fed up with these local monopolies as I have been for years.

They cut my speed in half last month but kept my rate exactly the same. No one else covers my neighborhood though so I have to just deal with it.

THESE PRICES ARE ABSURD. Why am I paying over 200 bucks for spotty internet and channels I dont even watch.

Total scam. Been trying to cancel for weeks and they keep transferring me around. Need more companies allowed in our area.

My bill goes up every 3 months for no reason. Tired of having zero options while they hold my service hostage.
