Re: Markup is whatever people will pay
said by Swingerhead  :What do you think the markup is on the bean juice from Starbucks? People pay it so the price remains the same. When they leave for greener pastures, deals will be offered. Maybe- but Starbuck's have been closing all over over the country, so what does that tell you? |

Try getting just as fast broadband a lot cheaper somewhere else. There isn't a "somewhere else" nor is there "A lot cheaper" either.

You're right.
As far as coffee goes, nothing beats the coffee I make myself, at home. Grinding your own beans fresh for every pot makes a huge difference, believe me...
As far as getting cheaper broadband- you got me on that one. I have 2 choices where I live- cable modem at rip off prices, or dog slow overpriced Verizon 3 Mbps DSL.
I love the Verizon rep who called me last week trying to convince me that in actuality- their 3 Mbps DSL was "just as fast" as my 15 Mbps cable connection...
Uh...sorry- no. Last I checked, 3 was one fifth of 15. I can see he was at the top of his class in math....  |
