1 edit | Their marketing department is selling a tier their network can't really support, thus they have to price it so high that few would sign up. The insane activation gouge will stop a lot of people from signing up while still allowing their marketing department to splash nations fastest internet service, 101Mb for only $99 advertising all over the place.

Well, things could be worse.. they could raise the price of broadband durring the peak season + holidays (March - October, December) the same way they do with gasoline... thats IF $1 a gigabyte for overages isn't enough... /sarcasm
WHAT?!? Why give a greedy industry new ideas to screw over the consumer... I'm just saying if you keep paying the higher prices... eventually you'll get so used to it.. you'll learn to perpetually live in debt they same way the government does.
At which point, can you really have faith in the monetary system?
While we're at it... call & cancel your cable-tv subscription please. Tell 'em Tmc8080 sent you, courtesy of the Comcast & Time Warner price experimentation thread. |
