Re: Front Page Report on Speakeasy
said by russotto  :And Speakeasy's dedication to ignoring residential customers is official (as if there was any doubt). I especially love these parts: If we do anything for residential, we're going to need to find a way to bundle voice in there, and potentially other things with our new parent Best Buy Later, referring to Best Buy: They're basically leaving us alone and letting us execute. You can't lay the residential issue at BBs feet while claiming they're leaving you alone, Bruce... So not taking a loss to give a business class offering to residential subscribers is ignoring them?
And yes, they've left us alone as far as i can see. |

| At the prices Speakeasy charges residential customers, I can't imagine they're taking a loss. The "fees" alone should protect the profit margin.
I got a "business" class account from LB DSL for $30 a month less, 1/3 better speed, and better customer service. And Lightning is not the only good alternative. |

Bloom County | Mainly it was referring to ADSL2+ service - to drop the prices to 'residential' prices would likely make them unprofitable and very possibly lose money. |
