Re: Would you like an extended warranty with your DSL?
said by NYC Girl  :RIDICULOUS, they should be providing unlimited support regardless. I am so glad I don't subscribe to their service anymore. So, it's your assertion that if you go out and get your system jacked up with crapware, your ISP should help you fix it for free?

said by notwrth10 :Depending on what the 10th hop is or who owns it you might deserve to be billed. Ever thought about bothering the hop owner instead of your tech support? Paying the $10.00 extra per month is as useful as calling the tenth hop owner and secondly I know better than to call tech support, because of an congested or bottle necked router outside of Verizon's network. I should bill you $10.00 for assuming I didn't know that. 
said by notwrth10 :"Were sorry you have 500+ms pings to glbx.net, how is this verizon.net's problem?" Its not, however I would be willing to wager many DSL users, will in fact call tech support for that very issue, thinking the extra $10.00 paid will fix the lag.
said by notwrth10 :"For you we decided you should pay $85 a month with a $100 fine for innudating tech support with a useless question (depending on hop domain name as proof) I have decided you shall be billed a $200 fine for missing the sarcasm of my post.... Pay up... Cha-Ching $$$$$$$$ :P
Earning a living as a call center tech support agent must be hell.
BTW: Its an extra $25 for misspelling inundating... Cha-Ching

No, I've only spent about 4.5 of those years on the phones. Moved back and forth between different positions. Back on the phones now for awhile since I switched jobs to work directly for a telco instead of for a crappy outsource outfit. | |

OK, so I misread the article, LMAOOOO, seemed a little vague to me read like they were giving unlimited Verizon DSL tech support only; however, I still wouldn't pay for it as it still seems like a ripoff. Sort of like buying an over the counter medication - if symptoms continue please contact your software provider directly - that will be $10.00, please, thanks for your business.
I would know how to fix this kind of stuff on my own, but that's just me. | |

said by morbo :then the ISPs should educate users of their service OR charge more for what they are providing. I have to call the bull on that. Whatever happened to RTFM?
I didn't see any company or tech support teaching ME how to use a 2400 baud modem or how to build a computer from bottom-up or how to install Windows. If people need hand-holding on how to do a ping and translate the results, I have little sympathy for them.
I'm not the brightest bulb in the track lighting; if I can learn it, so can any other monkey. Again, RTFM! | |

said by morbo :Obviously, if my ISP has to raise the price to stay in business or because they feel that they have consumers on hook (common with cable tv), I, as a consumer, decide if I want to stay with that provider or go to another, if there is even an option. Ah, I see. What happens when corporations do what you say and price it near the actual cost? Why, then the customers go to war! More screaming of "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!" and demands for credits and the first-born of a rep.
Earthlink used to price its ADSL close to the cost - 49.99 for 1.5 down. What happened? Bitch and whine by the customers, because the telcos subsidize the cost of their extremely anti-profitable internet services with their very profitable regular telephone service. Cable internet? Same deal - all subsidized by the prices you pay for TV. Satellite? SAME DEAL. All broadband is subsidized by the profits for some other venture offered by the same company. Those who DON'T have another venture have gone down the tubes because they can't win the price war - see Earthlink, @Home, and several other 'ISPs'.
So, sure, I'll agree with your opinion. Just let me have Murdoch's empire and I'll guarantee you'll get all the broadband you want for $5/month. I'll be subsidizing it out the other profits I get for everything else, but you won't mind. That is, until I undercut everyone else, buy them out, and have a monopoly on the interweb. You still won't mind...after all, you get what you pay for, yes? | |
