| More caps, less cost? Not yet Why, if all companies insist on capping our usage, does this not lower the price for broadband, now that you can only cost the company a certain amount, and they then recover that amount (plus profit) each month you pay?
Because it's called profit margin, and the companies won't give that up to make the price more attractive. They would rather charge the users they've snared more, than to possibly lose money by charging users less and hoping more sign up and bring in the same profits.
I don't like caps unless they tell you going in about them. To foist the cap on unsuspecting users is not right. They should offer a lower price point in exchange for instituting caps to make more incentive for people to accept them. And if they don't then they should be charge a small price for each gigabyte they are over the cap, or just increase the monthly price t cover unlimited usage. Some may pay it, if they needed. Most don't so a capped, lower priced system would make sense.
Of course, business after the almighty dollar will just restrict the pipe and raise the prices. Most companies today follow this practice and aren't interested in the customers, other than their money. |
