Whittier, AK | Re: With so many ISPs to choose from Maybe in New York but that is definitely not the case in huge parts of the US. | |

 | | | Re: With so many ISPs to choose from Meh.. in those parts of the US where ISP selection is limited, I'm sure a network subscriber has bigger things to worry about.. like the job market. | |

| | Not necessarily. What if your choiced for broadband is Verizon and some other company that has a history of filtering, handing out DMCA + piracy notices, and kicking people off? | |

So Verizon would lose those customers they would be happiest to lose. | |

|
| | | | | Re: With so many ISPs to choose from Yeah, the ones who sign up for 50 Mbps service for $130+ a month. You just have to HATE those people. | |

kudos:2 | Re: With so many ISPs to choose from Meh, I have friends on Comcast with the 16/2 plan. They mostly use Usenet these days. I'm paying more for internet than they do, but have a much higher proportion of legal content flowing through my pipe. | |

1 edit | Re: With so many ISPs to choose from Stupid people using your product and paying top dollar. I hate 'em.
I say boot them all from the network based on the nebulous, unsubstantiated claims of an industry whose failure to adapt to the modern broadband age is resulting in a complete implosion and a relentless series of utterly idiotic business decisions. Am I right? | |

Mullica Hill, NJ | only for an outbound sales rep to sign them back up a few days later because the epic fail telecom billing systems likely dont have a flag for do not sign up for internet. or rep gets a supervisor override so their team looks good on the quarterly sales reports(because in telecom call centers sales are considered #1, its why even on a trouble call they pitch something to you).
