Re: Cancel my service, Please. said by Moonlight_x :
If ISPs had to buy enough capacity to guarantee that all users could simultaneously use the full advertised speed, internet access would cost around $7 per Mbps... Bell's 16Mbps service would need to cost over $150/month instead of the current $75/month..... Thank you very much, you have provided me with a clearer picture. I guess what I am asking for is to hear this explanation from the companies themselves instead of the double talk they give to us. I admit that 150-250gb caps are reasonable even for a online P2P/game user. |

The ISPs' hidden caps and various undisclosed practices are indeed annoying and the way many try to cover the facts is insulting/frustrating. The combination of total lack of transparency, overpriced plans, overpriced overage, sub-par customer and technical support do make dealing with most major ISPs a PITA.
Those are all reasons why I plan to go with TSI near the end of my current internet contract... $30/200GB/month is much better than anything Bell and Videotron have to offer for a moderate downloader like me. |
