Hingham, MA | The point of having high tiers is to have high tiers, so you can go around and brag about your mega high speed internet speeds on commercials and at industry conferences. If some people actually pay the big bucks for the high speed tiers, that's just extra. |

At one time so was 7 meg DSL....$169 a month. Trust me I had it once and look at the price now? In time prices will come down and everyone will get it at a affordable rate.
All providers have to start somewhere and that somewhere is high in the beginning and over time it steadily comes down. |

Did you expect them to give you 50mbps or 200mbps for $50/month? It is 2008, not 2018... Maybe in 2018, 200mbps will be $50/month, but until then.... It is too costly to provide that type of bandwidth. VZ is a corp. NOT a charity!
And $169/month for 50mbps is excellent if you need that type of bandwidth... Up until fairly recently, if you wanted that type of bandwidth in your home, you'd have to pay thousands of dollars per month (still true in places without FIOS)

If YOU can't use them, what is to say that I can't use them? People have different needs... That is why some people are happy with the 5mbps tier or even dialup or NO computer!

With inflation, prices are just going to continue to go up. I bet the "standard" package will be ~100mbps or so in 2018 for around $50.

Companies still need to make a profit... So why would they lower the cost of their services?
Hardware is certainly getting cheaper to manufacture, but services aren't.
