Re: If BB rate is up & prices up; then prices aren't too high

said by fAcEtIOUs:

1st rule of a successful business:
- keep raising prices until your growth rate slows and your customers start going to competitors.
you keep pretending there is competition. the majority of the U.S. market has little or no competition. if there is no competition, there is nowhere to go. the choice is keep paying the higher price or drop broadband.

to me, it's very telling that comcast (my provider) hasn't raised broadband prices since I got it (whereas cable TV price increases like clockwork) - to me, that says they priced it as high as they could years ago and since their profit increases every year because of the declining cost of bandwidth and equipment, they don't feel the need to increase prices even in areas with no competition.
