The majority of Americans today live pay check to pay check.

Anyone who is living pay check to pay check should not be paying a monthly triple-play $100+ every month. I was one of those people back when I was younger and lived on an aerial antenna and a $20/month pay as you go cell phone.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-real-reason-for-rate-hikes-27962452 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:40:32 EDT Re: real reason for rate hikes?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-real-reason-for-rate-hikes-27962222

Before you say it, anyone in IT who has some attitude of I'm fine, so screw the other people; well I hate to bring bad news but your job is actually the easiest to outsource today.

Therefore, I wouldn't be thinking screw you to anyone. Those that cannot be outsourced, they just bring in folks on h1b visas to replace you.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-real-reason-for-rate-hikes-27961456 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:06:31 EDT Re: real reason for rate hikes?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-real-reason-for-rate-hikes-27961204 said by AnonFTW :

a ten year $7 trillion investment in training and repairing/upgrading equipment would net them a much LARGER profit margin then the profit generated from ad revenue for one channel in that 10 year time frame.

so you demand upto 20% quarterly pay increase??
