I find it interesting that both Cox and TW choose to offer competitively priced lower tiers, while Comcast refuses to.
Cox's in particular is compelling and very much in line with what the telco's offer.
"Economy: 768kbps/256kbps : $14.95-$16.99 (select areas) Value: 1.5Mbps/256kbps-384kbps : $26.95-$29.95"
Comcast does offer the 384k tier in some areas but at almost 30.00, it's hardly worth it.
I do think they could do well if they were to change their strategy a bit and start offering what COX does. For those with cable tv already, it would let them cancel their pots line in favor of VOIP. Perhaps their concern is that they would cannibalize customers from the 42.95 tier but I really don't think it would be all that many. Those people probably already are DSL customers anyway.
Anyways..interesting to see the comparisons. -- The Coyote captured the RR! Roadrunner Rick is now Comcastic! |
