Re: Only because And I suppose the consumers who blindly write checks while complaining in silence bear no responsibility in shaping how broadband is delivered. The consumer holds the ultimate trump card. If enough people cancel the capped or metered "unlimited always on service", the provider will get the message.
I don't want to go back to dialup, but if my broadband became metered or capped there would be no other choice. I will never get sucked into paying for something I did not order or want.
After all, whatever happened to the customer is always right. |

uhh try complaining to comcast, threatening to cancel the service, and have their rep say "ok, i can cancel your account. There its cancelled. thank you for calling comcast" .... thats how they work. they dont care. I used t hear of people who would threaten to cancel and get 6 months half off, or a month free.... not so anymore. Comcast knows you have no choice. You pay or you get dropped--its a monopoly. i have no other option (believe me ive tried).
not many can just cancel. i work from home, i need something faster than dialup.
Next time, think about ppl other than yourself. kthx.

Land O Lakes, FL | Boycotts are more effective when there is organized participation, otherwise your voice just won't be heard. Try looking at www.comcastsucks.com (I haven't actually looked).
I did the work from home thing, two days a week, using dialup. Yes Outlook sucks in the worst ways on dialup, but it works. Telnet worked fine, rlogin worked fine, vpn worked fine anything requiring grapics was slow, but they all worked.
In the context of my original remarks, sacrifice is necessary to meet the objective.
If you can't or won't make the sacrifice your only other course would be to support re-regulation of the cable industry. Make your local franchise authority aware of your complaint and when they cannot help pass it along to your elected federal officials. |
