Re: AT&T DSL for downloads, Comcast for gaming! said by fiberguy:"That is somewhat correct - Comcast business does NOT come with an SLA." ... could have fooled me.. My SLA with Comcast Business Class suits me just fine, thank you. Perhaps different markets?
But when I signed up they told me no SLA, now I am curious to see if I am getting ripped off. Do you pay extra for the SLA? |

kudos:3 | No... I do not pay extra for the service level agreement.. it's part of the service. But, just because they may or may not offer it differently in different markets does not mean you're being "ripped off"... in order to be ripped off, you'd have to be offered something and NOT be getting it.. that's the raw definition of ripped off. This would be a case more of "Mom!!! Jimmy got a bigger piece of cake than I diiiiid...".. kinda the same as how they price HSI the same throughout the country... while some systems only had 6 meg, others had 8 for the same price... no one was getting ripped, they just sold it different in different markets.
Also, it may have something to do with your market. Here, and in other systems, they have established pretty good commercial technical divisions.. it may be that your area has yet to do that while others, like ours, have. In some markets, the residential techs still service business customers. It just takes time to re-tool a national business model is all. |

I feel it is kind of sneaky to tell me that when there is a SLA available. Although, I don't see it in the Comcast TOS which means you probably neogitated it into the contract. |

Unless you are referring to the contract, which is NOT an SLA. An SLA is where they guarantee service x% of the time.
Comcast Business HSI is NOT guaranteed under an SLA. |
