| Broadband pricing War-No way John Q Public!! These various providers mis--lead government agencies and the consumer by indicating that if they were granted concessions the price to the consumer would go DOWN, the reliability would go UP and the performance would INCREASE. Thus granted these concessions in the form of monopolies, tax relief etc, these same providers have NOT delivered on their promises. They have continued to devise various schemes to add to the bottom line without having to deliver on their commitments. I don't expect the price of quality services to be dirt cheap and the company to go out of business in providing it but I do object to rate increases for services they do not intend to deliver and will not deliver as well as "hidden fees" which are nothing but additional revenues and border on false and misleading advertising. The rampant bait and switch techniques used is criminal but there is no enforcement. The list of questionable business activities keeps getting larger by the day. When a company says you WILL get this for this price, just sign here, then turn around and say "oh we can't really provide you with what we contracted for due to circumstances beyond our control but YOU still have to pay what you said you would pay" I get more than mildly annoyed. The LACK of competition and the LACK of service providers and the seemingly willingness of government bureaucrats to aid and abet this practice makes the choice of going to another provider a moot point for many areas of the U S of A. Many made some choices based on the advertised ability of providers to deliver their product at a defined price and they have failed to deliver their products and services at the price they indicated. Yes there is ALWAYS the choice to NOT choose their products but that is a last resort choice and thus the concessions made to the providers by the public should be rescinded. |
