Re: So I crawled out from under my rock last night
Agreed there!
They want people who actually put the connections to use to have to pay much higher rates (and, like your supposition, it will probably work because they are the 'attached' users) while still making a lot of money on people who are just casual surfers and emailers.
They don't have to worry about stiff competition forcing them to be competitive on prices, nor offer bang for the buck. They can sit back and charge as much as the market will bear and deliver as little as they can get away with.
The situation doesn't look like it's going to improve soon, but hopefully, longterm, it will.
