Re: Price competition is there...they just don't advertise.
said by rmergner  :If you have Comcast and call them and tell them you are planning to switch to FIOS they will give you very good pricing. I'm reasonably certain that when my FIOS contract expires in a year, they will do the same if I tell them I am switching back to Comcast. Heavy Reading survey aside, the reality is that they are willing to compete on price...they just don't do it publicly. The jury is still out on how lasting this will be as part of their strategy to win and retain customers. Competition hasn't been the reality in enough areas for a long enough period of time to determine this yet. That won't necessarily work. I called Comcast, telling them I was seriously considering FIOS TV on price. What I got was an argument on how FIOS was inferior, and basically a stonewall on pricing. The arrogant woman told me I could simply scale my service down or bundle to save money, but that she couldn't just lower my price. Funny, because that's what they did 12 months earlier to keep me from switching. New policy? Maybe I could have called back a few times more, but I wanted to switch over for the better HD package, and I'm glad I did. |
