Over half of all cable subscribers would ditch their provider if they could

It’s no secret that a lot of cable subscribers are unhappy with their service—it’s a big reason why “cord-cutting” has gotten so much attention over the past few years. But the results of a new survey may give us a better indication of just how unhappy cable subscribers really are. Citing a survey from market research company cg42, the Washington Post reports that 53% of those polled would leave their cable provider if they felt it was possible to do so. The survey also finds that 73% of respondents feel that cable companies “are predatory in their practices and take advantage of consumers’ lack of choice.” Meanwhile, 72% of survey participants expressed concern that the ever-increasing size of cable companies will hurt, not help, consumers.
