| Re: Or what? said by 53059959  :you guys are over-reacting. if you want to know how many fees your being charged, just look at your bill! simple math. and if you want to know the fees of other companies, welcome to dslreports-ask a member. The problem with that is that you can't look at your bill until you've signed up for service and committed to a contract of at least a year. So you see the add for DSL for $20/month and sign up. The first chance you get to see how many fees you're being charged is when you get the first bill. The first bill comes and you see that your $20/month DSL actually costs closer to $40/month. Guess what? Too late to cancel, you signed a one year contract. Still want to cancel? No problem, that'll be $200 in early termination fees please.
said by 53059959 :broadband internet is a necessity to me just like electricity. three bucks is bananas It is also a necessity to me and you're right, three bucks is peanuts. The problem here is one of principle. They advertise one price for their service and then they add BS, line-item "fees" that serve no purpose other than to jack up the price of service. Since broadband is a necessity for you, you'd have no problem if they advertised the service at $20/month and then added below-the-line fees of $50/month? Would that be acceptable? If not, then why is $3/month acceptable? So it's a matter of quantity? As long as they're only screwing you out of a small portion of your bill it's okay? |
