okay. we liked to disconnect. wliekd to disconnect please.

>> so i why is it you don't want faster speed. help me why you don't want faster speed. >> help me understand why you can't just disconnect us. >> we first heard that phone call yesterday. a couple trying to cancel their comcast service, but a representative stood in the way. the call sparking a new conversation about cable companies and whether it is time for viewers to cut the cord. >> a lot of people are saying yes. more than 7.5 million households canceled their capable in 2013. that's up from about 5 million homes in 2010. nicholas thompson is the editor of the website for 2014. welcome back. >> good morning. >> that conversation was so ill tating and yet so relatable. the guy on phone said it's my job to have the conversation that you keep the service. the cable company does whatever it takes but he went above and beyond the call of duty. >> he acted absurdly.

the reason why this resonated and got spread all over the internet. customer service at the cable companies is absolutely terrible infuriating and awful. that's because of their monopolies.- they don't have to compete. they don't have to win us over. we have to buy their services and they don't treat us well. >> and they know that. >> they know that. >> they can't be thrilled by this publicity. >> this is not a good week for them but it's not going to lead to more regulation that leads to more regulation cable industry. >> if more and more people look at cable television and figure out how much it costs, the deepakaging of it, they're going to shift and that's part of the reason that cable coverage has been going down. >> right. there are a lot of people cutting cords. one thing to remember is they provide both your internet often for work purposes and your television. you can cut off the cable sufss but you still have to deal with it. there are all kinds of things you can do.

you can watch a lot of shows through hula through your roku box, you can get a digital antenna. you can reduce the amount you pay. pay for internet and add on services. >> you were talking about lack of regulators. there's no one in there defending the customer. >> right. >> is that to change? we keep hearing p the cable providers getting bigger and bigger and possible time warner deals, possible comcast deals. >> if you looks at internet speeds we're about 30th or 40th in the world. that's terrible for the that has spurred it. >> we're that slow. >> because of policy failures. we've not enforced best policies. in fact even yesterday there was the ability to make competition even worse.

our government has let us down on this. that's why our internet is so slow and it seems like we're going to continue in that direction as there are more mergers. somebody will reverse it some day, we'll get good policy but there are not a lot of signs with it right now. >> with respect to the services and phone calls do you believe the attention that's come to this will change policy by comcast? >> yes. this will probably change comcast's policies if ar short while. they're going to tell their reps you need to keep our customers but please do not abuse them. i'm sure there's been an abuse they don't want their voice to be spread on the tech nomy blog. i think the service will get temporarily better but there are limited problems. >> you say negotiate your bill. >> this is one thing you can do. you can call your cable company. they have a whole bunch of

options they haven't told you about. if you think you paid too much, you can bargain them down. >> this is a good week do that. >> thank you, nicholas thompson. jason segel's new movie is called "sex tapes." it's about a couple who tries to spice it up in their marriage ten years in. >> announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by mercedes-benz. some of the most advanced vehicles on the road today.
