Re: Download so fast you hit the cap in a flash said by axiomatic:I'm with you. I want a FAST dumb pipe with no usage cap on the internet side and true 1080p on the video side and I'm willing to pay a premium for it. Which is fine.. however, most people are not willing to pay a "premium".. and even then, history will show that when people say they're willing to pay a premium for it, that sentiment only last for a few months and then we're back to "this is just too much money to be spending"...
And, as far as 1080p on video.. who's pushing out 1080p now anyway? People are barely pushing out true 1080i content as it is.. much less anything in real HD that isn't up-converted.
I'm afraid to ask you what you consider a premium for what you're asking.. dumb pipes with no caps.. but I believe your answer would be as common as everyone else already answers which would equal out to about another $10 or so a month, right?
And, right now, you already have a dumb pipe.. last I checked, there are no filters on it is there? And if you mean by network management systems in place to ensure that everyone has a chance to use the internet as not being a dumb pipe, then.. you're never going to get a true dumb pipe.. EVERY network has some kind of network management or load balance system in place.
As for ala cart pricing... your argument is better directed towards hollywood, and not the consignment shops. | |
| I'm somewhere around 18 years in to "premium" pricing. Yeah the speeds of "premium" have changed over the years but I'm still there buying it.
With all cable channels, the 5/30 Mbps internet tier, and Comcast CDV (voip) my monthly bill averages about $230 /mo.
So yeah, I'm willing to pay and not cut back after the "sticker shock" sets in. | | |
