Re: Sounds great! -- Not quite

Speakeasy doesn't control or own the lines and the COs, so they can't offer a price break like this. This is what is called a monopoly flexing it's muscle. In order for Speakeasy (who I also have and pay $94 a month for 1500/768) to lower their rates that would mean that Covad would have to get a rate reduction from Verizon and hope that they keep passing the buck back to the consumer.

Re: Sounds great! -- Not quite

This is seen as great by the customer. I still believe that Verizon is truly a large evil corporation that is not doing it to make the customer happy. It looks like a reaction to some of the latest happenings. To lower there rates but continue to sell the same thing to there "ISP" customers at a rate that makes the ISP unable to sell at that price the same speeds. This is truly another effort to eliminate competition.

In the long run this is NOT a good thing for the customer. After elimination of there "partners" what is next? You cannot expect Verizon to offer you that lower rate so they can make less money off of you to make you happy. Less tech support staff, lower cost equipment, more time until repair, etc etc....
