Re: Ehh Its what was done in Canada (Rogers, I believe) to sway the average user into a specific tier. For the AVERAGE user, there's CURRENTLY very little to be gained by going from 6Mbps to anything higher.
When I say AVERAGE, I mean those the do Google search, Youtube, email, iTunes, etc., and not those running BT, downloading Oracle 10g / Fedora Core distros, hosting email, etc.
The 'new' incentive is caps - bottom tier is one they _really_ don't want you to use, so price is cheap, but has puny cap, and shouldn't be used for much besides searches and email.
Since there's little (relative) difference in speed between 12Mbps and 16Mbps (and none on the upload), why would anyone pay $10/month more ? I can only expect that there's some small print, such as caps. -- Canada = Hollywood North |
