Re: welcome to the "consessions"
Glad to see people finally accusing phone of penalizing vs. discounting which cable has been doing.
And besides, no matter the price of DSL or Cable Modem service... considering Dial up was pushing close to $24.99 a month for a single computer on line, why would ANYONE complain at ANY broadband service for multiple computer for under $59 a month considering all you can do with this broadband over DSL.
Either way..
If anyone is familiar with making deals with the devil, this is very much one of them. The FCC said "offer naked DSL"... as like the devil would say "we did, but you didn't say it had to be cheap"... Ask the devil to be rich, who's to say he doesn't make you a drug load in South America who's always under assassination attacks.
The brain children who make up the body of our government still haven't gotten it that you have to spell out every detail, because the lack of detail usually equals a loophole.

With dial-up, you have to have a phone line. So that dial-up requires a $25 POTS line. With some ISPs, you could come close to the $40-50 range just with dial-up. |

yeah, this is the truth, sadly...
I pay $32 a month for my POTS line (that's after taxes/charges/etc) and $15 a month for my ISP....I'd go with a cheaper $5-$10 ISP, but I know that my current one has been extremely reliable.
Thus, I pay $47 a month for dial-up....I almost NEVER use my POTS line for phone calls. v_v; |
