| Most US ISP's won't do this.....
Why you ask?
How many of them claim all you pay for is a connection? Most claim newsgroups are free and so is email. If either one goes out, no credit for services.
Now, say Comcast (for example) would offer a bare bones connection for $30/month vs. their $42/month for cable TV subscribers. All of a sudden we see that email and newsgroups are worth $12 in price reductions. Then people would want credits near that amount if email goes down.
Also, this is easy money for the ISP. Bare bones cuts back on profits. |
