Re: While we all might bit** and gripe over what our said by Rick:service costs at times the fact of the matter is overall I think it's an amazing value in most cases. For most users their internet connection amounts to about .50cents to 1.50 per day. Tell me. Where else do you get all that this delivers for that kind of money? From that small fry at Mc'ds maybe? Those 7 cigs that some of you will smoke today? If one is eating a small fries and smoking 7 cigs everyday eventually their medical expenses will make their internet bill seems like nothing.
I don't know about you, but for me, my connection is practically my right arm these days. I use it for work and play. It's the worlds biggest encyclopedia of everything you ever wanted to know and see, and then some. I simply cannot even begin to calculate what it has done and saved me in terms of money, time and efficiency over the years.
I've probably saved more in online shopping in the last 2 weeks alone to pay for a years cable HSI connection.
I kind of see where you are going. Before I had internet is used to read USA Today because of their sport coverage because I moved far away from my favorite teams and it was really the only way to get any kind of coverage for them. Well it was 50¢ a day 5 days a week. So that's $10 a month. Now it's 75¢ a day so if I was still buying it I'd be paying $15 a month. So I figure for an extra $25 I get all the news on my sports teams( and faster ) and eveything else the internet has to offer. Also I pay most of my bills online. Things that used to require me to mail which means buying stamps and money orders. So add in the savings there too. Not to mention not having to worry if the bill is going to get lost in the mail. Not bad. |
