Re: I dont necessarily agree

said by wifi4milez:

It has been reported time and time again that many customers are downgrading their service to lower speed tiers to save money. This will all come down to simply economics, "speed" will have nothing to do with who gets more business.
Recently, with bundled pricing FiOS TV became cheaper by upgrading to faster service. Check out this thread for numerous instances.

I agree that it does come down to dollars and cents, but downgrading isn't always the only way to get cheaper service. Sometimes it just takes getting further into bed with a company to save more.

My point was more that people are looking to save money as opposed to going with the carrier with the highest speeds. For this reason the typical arguments read in these forums (copper is dead, FTTH is the only way to go, etc.) hold no real water when it comes down to it.

Yup - its just like business 101.
How many corps have off shored for bottom line... MANY
How many people shop at stores like Wal Mart vs. more expensive stores
How many will look for a good deal...especially when the economy is bad.

Hell... I don't need a bad economy to keep me from spending more than I have to... especially with no 'real' advantage to me.
