Re: It's all getting cheaper said by blacksurfer:Try $12.95. I wonder if $9.95 is next? they can lower it to $4.95/mo - i'll still keep my faster cable because I don't need a damn phone line. Strip the phone service requirement and they'll see a lot more people sign up.

I have comcast where I live, and DSL at my mom's.
Now think about this... what do I do that I need a 6 Mbit pipeline to my house... Ummm nothing really. I have a Citrix server that in reality all i uses is 10-15K for traffic, I got tired of downloading crap that I didn't need... I just have the cable because of the static IP addr & because it's bundled with my TV package... and that's about it.
The DSL bill is 15 bucks a month (+ tax) and vonage is 25 bucks... so we're looking at 40 dollars for phone and net access (yes, Verizon does offer nakednaked DSL in PA).
RCN the cable company where my mom is located charges $56 a month for a cable modem.
To my surprise, the so called 7 megabit connection that RCN provides appeared to slow and not very responsive... While the DSL was a lot more responsive.
My days of pulling out flukes and doing network traces are over. Now I go for affordable. And that's the bottom line! |
