"carrier added 42,000 new broadband customers on the quarter"
This is a joke. They did not add that many new customers half of those were taken from there existing "Partners"... They cold call there own customers with local ISP's and get them to switch to MSN ISP(Them) and call it a new customer.
They use the local "Partners" ISP's to get the customers and then undercut the cost from the ISP's to get customers to cut over and lock them into 2-3yr contracts.
Hmm, I have the 7M service here in Spokane..only about 250k ppl..and it's with a local ISP. And, I have the "price for life" pricing. Including the ISP and Qwest, I pay $45-50/mo. for reliable 7/896 service. Comcast can't do that.
Cable Internet is waaay expensive unless you have the TV service as well. With 14 OTA DT channels..why would I?
