  Don’t worry, they will slip some ever increasing hidden fees in there.

  Fuck.This.Shit.

  They are doing this because of Trump’s bullshit noise. Make them pay and/or collapse them.

    Not if you’re willing and able to pay an arbitrary $30 a month extra. That lifts the oh-so essential data cap. Yeah… fuck Comcast, or whatever they are calling themselves this month.

    Depends where you live. I pay $70/month for gigabit Fiber from Verizon (it works extremely well and rarely goes down or has issues). No ISP in NYC has data caps. We have 8.3 million residents.

    So I never understood the bs justifications given by Comcast and other ISPs who operate in less populated areas (most of the country, honestly). Like yes, I understand that no matter what they say, it’s about the money. But people in NYC would literally riot if we got data caps on home Internet.

    Why doesn’t the rest of the country push back?

  What a terrible offer. Grab a modem yourself for $50 and schedule in two hours every one to two years to save hundreds to thousands instead.

  400/150 Mbps - $55/month

  I pay the equivalent of $10 USD per month (we don’t do list prices, it’s the actual price) for 1 Gbit fibre.

  And I am willing to bet that the “five-year price lock” advertising is fraud. There has to be a clause in their TOS that as per the company “price lock” means the ability to change prices.

  A lot of good that does, they jacked up the rates every year so far.
