| Whine and Complain
I know some people will whine and complain but this offer is more than fair, especially for the price. RR even went the extra mile of detailing for some of you who like to Knitpick. The usage they gave is well with reason. I don't wanna hear stupid complaints about pop ups and spam, they get no where near 40 gigs a month. |

Re: Whine and Complain
Um... well I'm jealous of the 40gb download caps 
My ISP offers 20GB combined and $7.95/GB. They won't charge more than $30 for bandwidth usage.
Card profile (DSL) is 3488/800
Almost similar.. wish we had more bandwidth though

Re: Whine and Complain
Everyone has the right to post, but everytime something about bandwidth usage comes some says something idiotic like, "Well if they gonna put bandwidth caps on me they better stop me from receiveing pop ups." or my favorite "Then they better stop spam from coming to my mail box." PopUp ads are annoying but they're not bandwidth killers unless you're real heavy into porn pop up pages. And ask for spam unless you just download all your spam it's a non issue. Some people try to make something from nothing. |

All that more quickly that you can achieve the CAP. What a load of crap? No wonder why 42% of Americans don't give a rat's ass!
And for what they listed that you can do on "regular" service. Can you accomplish ALL of those on the reg service? OR just one? Like send all that e-mail and listen to 133 hrs of music. OR just take your pick? |

While I agree that this offer is more than reasonable, I still have to say that what it all boils down to is that people will pay to receive spam.
It may only be in the fractions of a cent, but the idea of paying for something one hates is unsettling, no matter how minute it may seem.
At least thats why I think people have the 'OL "Then they better stop spam from coming to my mail box." attitude.
I don't share that view, but I could "possibly" see where some folks are coming from.

Re: not in my city
i agree with you, if RR sent me a letter like that i would cancel all my services, i pay roughly 3 DTVs which have dbest and roadrunner, which is around 200ish. I can get DSL if need be and get DishTV or DirectTV.
what people dont seem to understand is, when you signed up for the service they said "UNLIMITED INTERNET" now they're really just saying "its unlimited to get to the internet, but what you do with it, it's metered" in a round about way. i could of put it better but im tired and the brain doesnt want to give a great example haha!
but seriously only reason why RR would do this is because of AOL loses. i wouldnt be surprised if RR would increase the prices now. |

Fine, you have you point.
But, what about a lower tier for those who don't use it as much such as Joe Email and Sally Spreadsheet? |

Re: err
Flecom, yeah, thats about right...100% line saturation for 30days on a 3mbit line is ~995GB - 40GB in plan=955GB
995/5*10+79.95= $1989.95
Thats 995GB / 5GB @ 10$ per + monthly fee... |
