| | Ain't competition grand? Competition hasn't done much for me. I don't want higher speeds, I want lower prices. I pay $32 per month for broadband, and that's too high.

 | | | Re: Ain't competition grand? Don't listen to CheapCat. All he does is whine in the Opt forums about prices for everything and how Cablevision is screwing him around every corner.
Oooh Optimum is going all digital and I have 10 TV hookups that need boxes now.
He lives in Bedminster (according to his title) and yet is penny pinching the heck out of ALL of his services.
He's just REALLLY cheap! | |

| said by DarkLogix:$32 is to high for you well sorry but I think most will agree $32 is a fine price Unless he want something slower like ATT 768kbps with 20gb caps at 19.99 1 year contract or 29.99 w/out contract hopefully ATT learns form TW and will can this BS CAPS as well
If that is still too high then the only option left is to go back to dialup at 7.99 to 9.99 a month depending on your term and contract | |

| | | | Re: Ain't competition grand? $32 for 15/2? That is a relative bargain compared to what the rest of the non CV portion of the country has to spend on broadband. Prices will not come down, you need to realize that no one, not Verizon, not CV, NO ONE will lower prices. They will entice you with higher speeds for more $$. These guys are trying to protect revenue, not destroy it. If a CEO tells an analyst he is going to lower prices on his tier of broadband he will get destroyed on Wall Street. Is not going to happen. Business 101, keep raising prices and offering more for the $$ as a way to combat competition. CVs move is very smart as they will get a solid % of power users to upgrade thus gaining more revenue. If you are so concerned with price move to Net Zero dial up! | |

| Re: Ain't competition grand? $32 for Verizon DSL 3M/768k. CV used to be $29 for 10/1. Then they raised the price to $45, and Verizon was much cheaper, so I switched. A very good move, as my Verizon DSL is much more reliable than my OOL was.
