Re: Surprise Price Hike Got my bill late last week and was surprised when I opened it up over the weekend. As with Graysonf, a nice little $5 bump effective with this new bill. That comes on a $5 bump about 14 months ago. Net-Net is a 50% increase in monthly cost in the lite version of DSL Direct while performance declines due to congestion upstream. Truly a bummer.  |

 graysonfPremium,MVM join:1999-07-16 Fort Lauderdale, FL | I got my bill last week too, but what caught my eye was a past due amount of $5.00 plus an $0.08 interest charge. I got out the prior month's bill and sure enough it was hiked $5.00.
Since the bill is always the same, I typically don't look at it. I just pay the same amount every month via online banking. That's why I didn't notice the hike.
I know I didn't get any email about it either. It just went up.
I know I can give Comcast the same $29.95 for six months and get a lot more speed. I might just do it. |

 bathswifeOriginal Member join:2000-09-06 Birmingham, AL | I would kind of like to go to cable because of the faster speeds but the cable in my neighborhood is very old and the last time I had it, it only worked about 3 days out of 7 per week. I was having to have a back up dial up provider for emergencies. So I went to Comcast forum to try to see if anybody around here has it and has good luck with it and couldn't find a thing except the same sorts of complaints I saw way back when. I guess I'm stuck with DSL 3.0. It's not horrible or anything but when I visit someone who lives in another town who has good cable I'm envious. Oh well. -- jbooksNOSPAM@bellsouth.netremove the "nospam" from the email to email me.mhttp://www.johnsonsusedbooks.com |

 graysonfPremium,MVM join:1999-07-16 Fort Lauderdale, FL | I'm going to be willing to try cable, unless AT&T is willing to give me a higher speed package for the price I am now paying for 768K lite.
It's insane that I am paying more for the lowest tier service than others are paying for the top tier service. |
