Re: I would never pay 80 a month for

I wouldn't go that far as to "investigate him" but that doesn't remove the fact that he is an ass.

Am I unhappy to pay $20 for DSL? Hell no I am not. I was happy to pay the $80 a month with a $300 hookup back in 1998 when DSL first came to Sacramento, CA. It was a 384/128 service and I was thrilled to have it. ANYTING was better than dial up. Dial up was an average of $20 a month. No one complained about that. Now that DSL is $20 and less per month, anyone to complain about that? WOW! Takes some pretty big gazungas.

Tell us, who is ripping you off at $20 a month for HSI? Who is ripping you off for $14.99? or even $12.99 for DSL? You are NOT being ripped off. No one is ripping anyone off for any price. You may not like the price you pay but you know? So what. You need to look at the legal definition of "being ripped off" - did they put a gun to your head? Were your forced 'under duress' to give them money for the product? Was your life or safety placed at risk in the exchange? I think not. Ask any attorny or judge and you will get the same answer.

Emotionally you may feel "ripped off" becauase you are not happy paying what you are for HSI. However, you have to be happy to pay something for it and it has to be reasonable. A "greedy corporation" isn't going to sell ANYTHING at a loss. You made it clear that you want to pay 'nothing' for it. "If it ain't free, it ain't for me" - Am I your father? no... am I being reasonable? Yes.. are you? Huh? Huh? No!

There's no arguing with Mr Don't Get This.. I am surprised that I even bothered.
