Let's Price Competitively

Wringing out a good deal with arm twisting does not make a "price war" ... lowering your prices to lure customers from your competition is a price war!

All I see in the way of a price war is "Who can raise prices the most and get away with it?" They to be "competitive" everyone else sneaks their prices up one way or another to pretty much match the competition ... "If they can get away with it, so can we"

The free market is not bringing prices down ... just like it hasn't for telephone ... just like it hasn't for TV. Just like it hasn't for the big box stores (unless you want to buy "cheap" products like melamine milk.)

Comcast has charged $42.95 for its standard broadband tier for over 4 years without any increases due to inflation.
But during that time, speeds have gone up considerably. In real terms, prices have gone down more than 15 percent while service speed has gone up more than 300 percent.
