And cable providers are some of the most hated companies that people live with. Have you ever met even a single person who's a fan of their cable company?
The difference here is while cable has (for now) an iron grasp on content and monopoly in their coverage areas, gaming has competition.

I am. I don't buy their TV or phone service, but they provide the best internet connection in every place I have lived. They have consistently been cheaper and faster than fios, uverse and any DSL. I can run a server, they don't block ports, and my IP is effectively static.
Clearly he's referring to cable company as in Cable TV company, not company that runs a cable in to your house while on division sells internet and another a TV package.
