Re: I have never in my life
said by At Work :Huh? All this connectivity? That's what they're there for... Connectivity... Gone are the days of 1 computer in the house. Now people have multiple computers, Xboxes, iTunes, WoW, PSP, DS, and all the other network devices pulling data off of one home connection. This is the future. "Connectivity" is not a wonderous thing. It is a commodity, and the providers are scared that people think of it this way. It's not magic, nor is it special. Sorry "Comcast" Rick!  Thats like saying, i just hooked up my light system (for my legal Linux Distro's, errr I mean my legal TOMATO plants, and got a 50 in plasma, why did my electric bill go up? I remember 25 yrs ago they said it was unlimited use? |

said by Rick  :said by nklb :$43/month? all told, I pay around $63 each month and that's for just the cable internet connection and no tv. It's a shame there are no competitors in my market. Comcast is very unreliable and expensive here, but it is my only option. You have the option of lowering that bill to 43.00. It's your choice that you don't. And, even if it is 63.00 honestly, do you think that 2.00 a day is too much to ask for a company to provide you with all this connectivity at these kinds of speeds? 2.00 a day barely covers the cost of a soda these days. This is one of the biggest values in the market today IMO. Option to "lower" only if you subscribe to cable TV, which costs another $50-$75 a month. BTW, I consistenly ding phone companies for requiring phone service as well. |

I was in the same boat as you paying $61.95 a month for internet only with Comcast. .....But life got better as soon as I got traded to time warner. The price got lowered to $44.95 and the speed increased to 7M/512! Ahhhhh,Life is better without Concast! |
