Cable companies want to make as much money as possible, like every other company. When that's in line with "giving me a good experience" sure, I agree. But every cable company horror story (like the one that started this thread) suggests more often than not, it ain't. The hundreds of millions they've spent lobbying the government to pass legislation the public previously rejected, or block legislation they've supported, suggests it ain't.

If this will actually benefit consumers, why are companies like Amazon, Google and Netflix against it?
If it will improve the VOIP experience, why Skype is against it?
