Price Analysis said by yogesh8920:I love how the the 1 year contract 4 nj actually costs less than the 2year The 1-year contract price is lower, but what happens to your price upon renewal? It looks like they have a programmed price increase planned. In other words, the 2-year contract price has next year's $5 price increase built in. (I picked $5 because higher may cause defections to other providers.)
With low speed internet in the package, there's a $5 difference between 1-year and 2-year prices. Hmm, looking ahead, if they increase the price on the package next year by $5, then the better choice is to go with 1-year. If they increase the package price next year by $10 (I don't think so), then there is no difference long-term between the two plans. If they increase the price next year by more than $10, then the 2-year plan is cheaper in the long run.
Which plan you pick should factor in your bet as to how much they will raise prices during the term of your contract.
Because the higher speed data packages are generally priced the same between 1- and 2-year terms, they are likely stable prices.
I locked in a 2-year 20/5 triple play for $99 before the price increase, so we'll see where things stand in Jan. 2010. If the price is too high then, I'll cancel. |
