Don't be silly!

You win the right to pay more for less! You'll gain the "freedom" to pay higher rates for the same access you're used to now...

and let's not forget, You'll have more "choices"... like to "choose" between Option #1: Pay more and Option #2: No service at all.

Congratulations, we all win.
