Comments for LUS alleges 'unfair, deceptive' conduct by Cox, NCTC at http://www.theind.com , comment 1 to 13 out of 13 comments http://www.theind.com Sun, 19 May 2013 08:17:49 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6393-lus-alleges-unfair-deceptive-conduct-by-cox-nctc#comment-8634 When LUS and the city of Lafayette promised fiber to the home and then...fiber to the business they forecasted economic gains for Lafayette. We now have traffic cameras generating income for Australia and millions of dollars going to out of state fiber contractors. LUS is advertising, “Support your community” what a bunch crap! I would love somebody to demand the records of how much money is leaving Lafayette to outside companies and how the bid process worked.

"Free Enterprise that is the answer.....One cannot merge Public and Private business, if this were allowed capitalism would not exist. Government would not stay in business, without the constant, in-pouring of tax-payers money to run the biggest-less-for-your-money, gig in the world, """ THE US GOVERNMENT "! - EXISTENTIALIST HOMME Sun, 13 Jun 2010 13:28:48 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6393-lus-alleges-unfair-deceptive-conduct-by-cox-nctc#comment-8257 NCTC is not the only game in town. There are other "content aggregators" out there that provide packages of cable channels for service providers to re-sell to their subscribers. Americom/SES was doing it about 2 years ago. I think that if the cost is anywhere near as low as NCTC, LUS should go with them or some other "aggregator". "you can't fight city hall". - ragin_cajun Sat, 12 Jun 2010 17:52:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6393-lus-alleges-unfair-deceptive-conduct-by-cox-nctc#comment-8255 Thanks for Terry and the folks at LUS for continuing to fight for better rates for our citizens. Cox had the chance to install fiber and they said we were too small to invest in. They took a gamble and they lost. Cox Failed. End of story. People will complain about anything. Here we have people who will complain about having a choice. They would rather deny us the CHOICE of LUS or COX and prefer we could ONLY buy from Cox. Really? That's what you want? You LIKE Cox having a monopoly in Lafayette? What a stupid point of view. - I Love my LUS Fiber!

Last time I checked our founding fathers fought, many given up their lives, so we could be free and not totally ruled by government. As this country continues to grow we fall further into the socialistic platform. Our country was founded on freedom and to prove so the United States Federal Reserve has this statement published on their website regarding free enterprise.... "Free enterprise is the freedom of individuals and businesses to operate and compete with a minimum of government interference or regulation. It enables individuals and businesses to create, produce, transform, develop, innovate and compete in the marketplace. As they are able and willing, enterprising people produce goods and services for profit, offer their labor for wages and own the resources needed to produce and sell goods and services. In this system, no one forces people to be creative, productive or enterprising. Instead, they pursue what they believe to be best for them. By producing the goods and services that society values most highly, a free enterprise system results in the greatest efficiency, or lowest costs, of any economic system. It is the system most compatible with individual freedom and political democracy." I guess this statement needs to be changed as certain so called Americans no longer believe in this statement. - Real American Fri, 11 Jun 2010 18:33:53 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6393-lus-alleges-unfair-deceptive-conduct-by-cox-nctc#comment-8240 It's funny how these back seat drivers like to sit back and call the shots whenever there is a minor stumble for LUS. They cant be happy with a great system. They would probably complain about the flavor of their birthday cake. What a bunch 'o douche bags! P.S., Terry Huval will get this sorted out. He is an outstanding business man. - Solutions?

After really asking to be allowed to join, the co-op suddenly "stopped" taking new members except for some others beside LUS. Not as dumb as some of you paint them, just dealing with a business that isn't necessary honest themselves. - Holeinthedonut8 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 15:35:17 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6393-lus-alleges-unfair-deceptive-conduct-by-cox-nctc#comment-8238 I agree it looks like LUS was asleep at the wheel...maybe LUS should request a refund from their consultant Doug Dawson for not giving LUS the full picture. Nevertheless, I wish LUS success. One way we can assure LUS is successful is by switching to LUS fiber. I switched, the very day that LUS fiber was available in my neighborhood. I was fed up with Cox (and AT&T/Dish Network) with their “bait and switch” tactics and lousy service. LUS service is first class. Most often I even get higher internet speeds than my subscription. Cox nor AT&T never even came close to matching what they charged. I am also asving about $50 a month with LUS! LUS fiber is fiber class. Cox and AT&T would try to attack LUS, just to keep LUS down. - Cajun Man Fri, 11 Jun 2010 15:16:19 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6393-lus-alleges-unfair-deceptive-conduct-by-cox-nctc#comment-8237 Terry and Joey wanted competition in cable only, not power and now they cry. Nothing new, they rarely know what they are doing. - Geraldbertholl Fri, 11 Jun 2010 13:53:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6393-lus-alleges-unfair-deceptive-conduct-by-cox-nctc#comment-8234 Maybe Terry Huval and Joey should have thought this thru a little better? Seems to me that what is referred to as damages in a lawsuit soon becomes financial losses if the case is lost. So next year the LUS Fiber system could suffer losses in excess of nearly a MILLION DOLLARS! Very competitive. - NativeSon Fri, 11 Jun 2010 12:12:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6393-lus-alleges-unfair-deceptive-conduct-by-cox-nctc#comment-8230 I noticed before we voted on this fiber thing, LUS made no mention of this national co-op. Are they just finding out about this unfair advantage? And if so, who was asleep at the wheel? Why do people get in a game if they don't know the rules before starting? ONLY IN LAFAYETTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - I Noticed Fri, 11 Jun 2010 12:05:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6393-lus-alleges-unfair-deceptive-conduct-by-cox-nctc#comment-8227 LUS, NUMERO UNO---" NEVAH CROSS COMMERCE AND GOVERNMENT, this is a well=known fact in the business scene,,,GOVERNMENT is the biggest """ LOSER known to man.....closely following government, " there's LUS.
