said by cdru: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.
