The $300 "Ultra" entrance fee in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22539448 en Wed, 10 Feb 2010 06:16:20 EDT Wed, 10 Feb 2010 06:16:20 EDT Re: The $300 "Ultra" entrance fee http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22541960 Shamayim :

The deployment, which combined with DOCSIS 3.0 upgrades cost $300 million . . .

Could that explain how CV really arrived at its controversial $300 figure: charge each customer buying Ultra (DOCSIS 3.0) exactly one ten-thousandth millionth of the total deployment cost?

I think you mean one *millionth*. 300 million for 1 million users equates to that 300 per user.
:uhh:
Fixed it for me.

Do you mean one millionth? Not sure how this is relevant to this news article either (or why people were up in arms about the $300 price to begin with).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22541385 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 15:17:30 EDT Re: The $300 "Ultra" entrance fee http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22540343 iansltx : They're not obligated to do anything except compete and amke a profit :p

Though reinvesting in infrastructure is a very good thing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22540343 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:29:12 EDT Re: The $300 "Ultra" entrance fee http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22540040 bn1221 : The deployment, which combined with DOCSIS 3.0 upgrades cost $300 million . . .

Their activation fees are rather unfair to the consumer, but also likely a deterrent to prevent abrupt mass migration of power users to their highest tier.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22539664 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 10:43:49 EDT The $300 "Ultra" entrance fee http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22539448 Shamayim : The deployment, which combined with DOCSIS 3.0 upgrades cost $300 million . . .
