Is it really something that has the same supply and demand curves though? Once the wires are run and especially with fiber the ability to add another customer is pretty cheap. The main goal from what I've read is to encourage building out into poorer areas by boosting the customer base in areas where it might otherwise be uneconomical to build into. Most things diverge from the econ 101 model significantly.
- _heimdall 3y agoI expect other parts of the business are more susceptible to the usually supply constraints, like customer service and maintenance.
- smegger001 3y agoWhat customer service? this is Comcast we are talking about. Consistantly ranked in the top ten worst companies in custom service nation wide. And maintaince already showed up only if the felt like when they felt and blamed your equipment when they do.
- _heimdall 3y agoQuality of service and their budget for service aren't quite the same. I worked at a major US telco for a while, their service wasn't anything to write home about either but you better believe they had very specific quotas of how many people they had to hire or contract relative to their customer count. At least in the US, union contracts often get extremely specific on that kind of thing.
