5 megabit unlimited = 1.3 TB
giving you 50 megabit at 250GB cap is like giving you
.1 megabit unlimited

so whats the price ( heard around 90$USD)
so your really paying 900$/megabit of DOWNLOAD
( not speed , speed just means that you reach that cap that in 1987 you had as unlimited have dual compression 56K dialup modems)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Atleast-it-hasnt-gone-up-21405088 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 12:52:00 EDT Re: Atleast it hasn't gone up. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Atleast-it-hasnt-gone-up-21404038 said by floridaguy :

huh??
The latest economic concern is about Stagflation, which is what you call a market where costs of producing goods are rising but the market will not bear price increases. This is really bad news for businesses. We aren't there yet but people in the know are pretty worried about it coming soon. If it does happen, it would completely derail the President-Elect's stated tax plan.

Totally false.
Actually it's true. That's why Comcast charges more for HSI if you don't sign up for the TV service.
Yeah, but what about the golden goo in that guy's shoe who outruns the land speed record vehicle on the salt flats? That $fontbg ridiculous f'n bullshit $Fontbg doesn't come cheap!

If you want Cable HSI only, you get to pay full price for it - aka without the two service discount.

I had cable TV for years before ever getting HSI. Price has gone up kinda regularly. :huh:

5 years ago, I added HSI to my cable service.
The price then was $42.95.
About a year into HSI, I opted to pay $10 more for the added speed(mainly for the higher upload speed).
That pushed my HSI to $52.95 per month
Cable TV has kept on having the yearly/bi-yearly price increases.
This month's Comcast bill states that my HSI is still $52.95.

Now, even if I didn't have HSI(with the discount), the Cable TV price will have still been increased, right?

So, my HSI has not had a price increase in 5 years(depending if you want to count the $10 Extra for speed).

According to my bill, the discount is $14 for having two srevices.

Think outside the Fox... Opera

Snag from this month's bill

It has just in a different way. They hold a knife to the throat by bundling your HSI w/cable. If you don't have cable, you pay an extra 20%. But if you do have HSI/cable, they just raise the cable rates. Don't ever think Comcast has stagnant rates, they always find a way to raise them!
But even without HSI, the cable TV rates still go up.
Cable TV gets rate increases from the likes of ESPN and the other networks. Do you think that they will just eat it and keep the TV prices down?
Fuck no! They will slide those rate increases right over to you and I!

Now, my HSI has yet to get an increase... no amount of speculation can explain that - and it isn't because of TV.

Finally they partially subsidize HSI with income from their TV packages so in theory when your cable TV rates go up, Comcast gets more money for HSI.

You obviously do not know how inflation works.
