EXTORTION

I have been posting these comments all over Broadband Reports so I guess I will post them here.

Sometime in February at the start of the next quarter (I think it's the 14th, yeah valentines day, sucks right?) Comcast will OFFICIALLY take over AT&T. New pricing plans will become effective and all ATTBI email addresses will be switched over to Comcast.net addresses.

There will also be an increase in internet service for those who DO NOT have basic TV service with the new Comcast. Right now HSI (High Speed Internet) costs around $45 per month but will increase to around $59.

Now this is just plain outright extortion people. I don't want to hear about bundling, or combined services are any of those SUPPOSEDLY marketing specials.

If NEW customer signing up for service want to take advantage of a special offer or "bundled" service then that's fine. BUT!!! For EXISTING customers who may have a satellite dish or no TV service at all for whatever reason to have to pay more is just total nonsense and shear extortion.

Why should a customer be FORCED to pay more for a service that they DON'T have????

Remember on Hill Street Blues where the local mob boss extorted money from the store owners along the street because they used the city trash service instead of "his boys" service. Clear cut EXTORTION folks. Being made to pay for a service you don't have.

Now that's crap. And no I don't work for AT&T anymore in fact I used to be RhythmsGuy but we all know that story right.

The bible talks about the "The Beast Rising From The East". Well, here it comes folks.


The Extorted

@attbi.com

When I moved to L.A. 2 years ago I joined with RoadRunner who was bought out by MediaOne who was bought out by ATTBI and is now being bought out by Comcast. I grudginly put up with the hassles of email changes etc., but there's no way in hell I'm going to comply with a $14/mo. extortion attempt for the same exact service. I'm switching to a DSL provider that is in no way connected to Comcast.
