Re: Its back off the shelf
said by nasadude  :said by TKJunkMail : And then you get the customer on slowly increasing costs so that they will hardly notice. That reduces the chance of them jumping ship to a low probability - especially since the other companies will likely adopt this winning strategy. No competition on price to worry about. So, your suggestion is they treat their customers like the "boiling frog": don't turn up the heat (charges) to high all at once or they'll jump out; turn up the heat (charges) slowly, and before they realize it, they will be cooked (fleeced)! as far as "No competition on price to worry about", it's more like "no competition to worry about". We don't like change, so TW and others could have easily gotten away with this if they just eased it in (ie high caps BEFORE the recession, then during the recession they can use the "excuse" "due to economic times we have to lower the caps" which of course we all knew would be BS but they could get away with it.) But when you mix stupidity and greed all you get is a badly run business. But now that TW has screwed up any possible chance of a per-use model, I really doubt they are going to try it again. TW has proven that this is NOT what customers want, no matter what they say or do. | |

TW has proven that this is NOT what customers want, no matter what they say or do. I kind of disagree with that, TW has proven time and time again that they are not consumer friendly, and they continually try to leave the door open for this blantant gouging in the future. Furthermore, they have yet to address how they plan to upgrade any of their existing customers. The "surgically upgrade" statements should show their customer base just how much TW cares about the ever expanding consumer need.
Or in other words...they've slung so much sh*t that they can't help stepping in it again!
