Then, I'd figure out how long it took me to weed through their b/s charges and then send them a bill for my time.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11510661 Tue, 05 Oct 2004 19:37:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11508571 navalpatel : many people dont want the speed (i do)... a lot of people just want the prices to go down... significantly]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11508571 Tue, 05 Oct 2004 15:39:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11508514 bigpapae35 : Amen, God knows it felt soo good cancelling my 3-line verizon account at $45 per line (includin taxes)to go with voicepulse at $15 per line and taxes only amount to 1.50 per line. Thank god I will never deal with the bells again!!!! They took enough of my money every year. I am somewhat ok with payin 45/month for cable, I am sure the cost will go down in two years, or at least the speeds should double by then.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11508514 Tue, 05 Oct 2004 15:32:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11508468 navalpatel : Do all these companies not see that by gouging their customers they are the ones who will eventually lose! Obviously that isn't the case now, but when there is a new way to provide internet service which is vastly cheaper and feasible to use. Cable internet probably costs about $10 MAX to maintain each month, however I am charged $55 for it.

* sigh * there is no point in arguing because nothing will change until someone comes and knocks each of these evil corporations of their throne. We need a broadband revolution ... the telephoney revolution is already here and headstrong with the popularity of VoIP!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11508468 Tue, 05 Oct 2004 15:27:11 EDT
