Telecom exploiting noncompetitive markets and lazy regulators
They want a $100+ a month for service on their wire. The days of $50 high speed internet are just about done.
They may overcharge, but at least their equipment sucks.
THANKS NET NEUTRALITY!
I wish I could get FIOS where I live.
They just won’t come up in to the hills.
It’s either Commiecast or a giant pizza pan nailed to the side of your house. Wife says fuggedaboutit.
I remember when 300GB would have been the whole internet.
lol
I dumped commiecast over two years ago, the only other choice I had was AT&T, I was weary of them also have had bad experience in the past, but the difference between the two is humungous, I have been very satisfied with ATT, with commiecast I would lose internet connection several times a month often as long as six or seven hours or more, with ATT I’ve have lost connection maybe eight times in two years, but never yet more than five minuets.
I think the difference is ATT delivers through Fiber Optics and the price is slightly cheaper.
Only had a couple issues since changing to Xfinity for internet a little over a year ago. I will say this, the folks you deal with there are the most bald faced liars I have ever encountered.
Cox has limits on its subscribers, also.
Somebody should DO something about this!
IOW - How a company wants to go out of business. I bought a Boost WiFi hot spot, $50/mo for 10gb and it works where ever Sprint works.
Cox Cable’s preferred service (mid-level) offered 20 mbps and 250 GB upload & download. I seldom used 80-100 GB per month.
A couple of months ago, they upped the speed to 50 mbps and 350 GB upload & download.
Even with Netflix binges and similar streaming and videos, my usage for the last month is at 100 GB.
It takes a lot of time on the computer/internet to download 250 GB of data. Netflix and similar services are starting to offer superHD, if one’s TV/computer support that level.
I think CommieCast is trying to force internet only users, ie cable cutters, to not drop their pathetic cable overpriced cable offering. The only way to bust 300 GB/month is by watching many hours of video everyday.
I had Netflix streaming and CommieCast last spring, and didn’t have that much to do - watched a lot of series back to back and started approaching 250GB/month.
Pull the plug and get Time Warner unlimited for $14.99.
