said by kapil  :... Try as you might TW, Comcast and AT&T, you will not succeed long-term in gouging consumers. Unfortunately, they will unless congress does something to stop them.
With the lack of competition, there is nothing to moderate price increases because customers have no other choice in a lot of cases. I can only get broadband thru comcast; if they decide to implement low caps and throttle and all that other stuff, my choice is grin and bear it or have no broadband. |

You are free to start up your own ISP and compete just like anyone else on this board. Instead of asking for more control you should be asking for money to build YOUR OWN ISP and give the people want they want. Unlimited 1gig by 1gig internet for $10 per month. |

This troll is still pitching this idea? With your views, you must have billions of $$$ or are simply ignorant to the actual cost of the transit equipment. Notice I said equipment, not bandwidth. Are you also ignorant of the cost of bribing government officials to overturn laws that the cable and telcos bribed them for, so that they could have monopolies like they do now? I got a great job and I still don't have that kind of $$$, not to mention(in the case of telcos) infrastructure paid for by taxpayers.
So, what is your interest in protecting large companies that are out to screw and abuse their customers, instead of valuing them, which would be expected in a non-monopolistic business? Yeah, a company treats me like poo and I go elsewhere, in general, which is fine. In the case of ISPs, the monopoly prevents that in many areas.
So, become a billionaire, move out of your home, or just let companies rape you hard? Is that your view? It seems to be, going by all your posts. |
