Re: Stephenson partly correct

said by battleop:

I expect that Verizon and AT&T will become even more competative as they fight for customers. Just don't expect some sort of price war where one starts to undercut the other. They will continue to match each other's moves just like Coke and Pepsi.

except coke and pepsi are drinks and not services. Here in canada, all the incumbents run duoploys in all areas ( other then new cell phone entrants in few areas). In these cases, matching each others moves means both of them raising prices at the same time.

"Here in canada" Guess what. I don't really care about what it's like "Here in Canada" because I was not talking about Canada. I was talking about AT&T and Verizon who are competing in the USA and not Canada.

I know it sucks that you have been cheated out of your birth right to 10Gb uncapped service for $2/year but enough is enough.

Love the arrogance

Here's a clue - big corps are the same, whether they are in Canada or the US.. don't think these guys don't take notice in what's happening on the other side of the boarder

That is true. Some are watching it happen here, but most customers just don't care until they receive their bill or finally realize they no longer have a choice between providers.

The lobbyists have finely crafted the laws to be in favor for huge businesses. Do you think what happened to AT&T in 1984 actually stopped them? No. They just figured out ways to get around it. Sure it took them almost 25 years, but now they can do whatever they want.

If you want choice and change, do this quote (from a specific movie): "Time to nut up or shut up".

What an ignorant and closed-minded individual you are. Let me guess, you're a conservative?

LOL..... WTF does this have to do with politics? Not every post is segway to bitch about the current state of broadband in Canada.

We all know and understand it sucks. Anyone who is upset about broadband in Canada is preaching to the choir here, so stop trying to work the "Poor us in Canada" bit in to every thread.
