Re: I Wonder How My Parents Will Be Affected said by Couch Potato:4.0/384 hasn't been available in a long time, the LOWEST Insight package at the moment is 10.0/1.0 which is $30 if they have digital cable or phone also from Insight. Well, it's what they have. If what you say is true, then either they're grandfathered in, or slower speeds are available if you call them or talk in person, as opposed to ordering via the Internet (I know the Insight site only mentions 10Mbps).
My parents visited me over Christmas, and left not too long ago. I asked my father what he pays, and he says he's paying $35/mo. This is for Internet alone. He doesn't have cable TV or Insight VOIP.
Perhaps this is a case where "grandfathered in" isn't a good thing?
At least it's sometimes good. I have a $100 deductible on collision insurance on my car through State Farm, although new customers can't get less than $250.
On a different topic, Happy Holidays everyone! |
