Re: Cable Monthly Costs
said by Xoebe  : Call and ask for lower rates before walking. I didn't, and now I have a poorer broadband for it. On the other hand, those crooks at TimeWarner had every opportunity to offer lower rates to begin with, so I don't feel so bad by walking away. That statement tells me you want higher speeds but are not willing to pay for it. You would have gotten the $24.95 as a promo, then when it was up, would have called to complain to TW because your bill went to advertised regular price. "What!?? How DARE you raise my bill? I DEMAND you lower my price, regardless if it is less than the value of my product!" 
Prices are determined by value for all industries. You already admit you got a slower connection, but are happy with the price. TW, on the hand, offers a higher price with the speed you want. In case you didn't notice, that is the way business works. You are not going to get a 5 bedroom 3,000 sq foot home for the price of a 500 sq ft efficiency, so why expect 10meg service for the price of 768k?
Bottom line is, you have "poorer broadband" because you wanted to pay "poorer" price. |
