said by 88615298:It should be easy to understand that if a $25 10 Meg tier was going to make Charter money they would be doing it. Period. Charter is not going to introduce a tier that will not make money or maybe cause a loss of profit. Charter like every 99.999% of business exist to make a profit. Not to provide services at a loss.
How hard is it for you to understand that Charter could easily make money selling 10meg service for $25... the reason they DON'T is because they make MORE money only offering 30/4 service for $54.99.
I understand Charter can do whatever it is they want to, but seriously, just admit the only reason they are offering what they are offering is because they make the most profit selling a product that not that many people actually need.
It's only about money these days. Not about providing services, not about providing employment and certainly not about competition.
Charter caps (while not enforced unless in a congested node) only exist to provide as a future cash cow. Why is it I can be on Business class for $65 a month (no promo, no contract) and get 30/4 with NO CAPS/SERVER ABILITY etc. etc. for only $9.99 more than 30/4 residential service.
So when there's only a difference of $9.99 between business and residential service for the exact same speed, that right there tells you that either residential service is too expensive, or business service isn't expensive enough (and hey, they decided that at $65 it was profitable to provide business service.)
My charter service works perfect, I'm happy with it. I think for business class $65 is very reasonable. I have a problem with the way the residential service is set up and a lot of other people have that same thought. The fact that you keep bullying people into thinking they're wrong for wanting charter to provide a lower tier and a better price is idiotic at best.
We all want the internet, but we are stuck with the providers that have set up shop where we live. Just because people are trying to save money in every way they can but still enjoy some small things in life does not make them leeches or takers... it just means they are voicing their opinion. I realize you too are voicing your opinion and you have every right to do so, but you lash out at people. Many different people have stated they want multiple tiers... you seem to be the only one who is content being told you must take what you can get and it's the greatest thing ever at the best price ever.
