said by iansltx:CV knows their product is for power users and charges as such. If people want it badly enough they pay for it.
Additionally, CV's $100-a-month tier is 101 Mbps down, 15 Mbps up. Their Boost tier is 30+ down and 5 up for $60ish, and there's no setup fee on that...
That's right.. the 50mbit speeds are something telcos and cablecos alike were promising way back in 2002-2003. Then Cable and RBOCs went on this 5 year detour and went to war with their customer base over consumption, deployment and pricing (with a couple of mergers thrown in for good measure). They are first getting around to it now.. I'm content to sit on the sidelines until it pushes competition further to lowering all broadband pricing (ie more megabits for lower price), and yeah I'm not holding my breath on this one.. As long as our ability to afford broadband at a decent value adjusted for lower middle class incomes vs inflation. Thanks to high energy prices and industry bailouts, the middle class got handed a class demotion to lower middle class-- so I'll use that as the fairness test.
