| This is an increase?
According to my bill, these new prices aren't changes at all. Maybe they are just dropping the $5 a month discount that always shows up?
I'm on the elite tier for both lines now anyway, and as it looks like that one isn't changing.......I don't care

$30 Dial Up.....
man, i could still remember the days when AOL/Compuserve charged customers $20-$30 a month for dial up...i wonder what happened to them now....
these gorillas are trying to milk every pennies out of us while they can....i am highly confident that broadband internet will be very cheap, much like dial up now, in the very near future. |

Rockville, MD | "price war" was always propaganda
this price war business has always been propaganda from the telco lobbyists and astroturfers anyway.
anyone that believes a price war will erupt in the absence of REAL competition is an idiot, a fool or a lobbyist. |

| The car analogy works well
So in keeping with the auto industry analogy. Cars are what? 100% more Expensive now than 10 years ago? And 400% more expensive than 20 years ago?
Why do folks in these forums think price’s Will go down anyway? Since when Do any prices for anything go down? Telecom services are supplied by “people” folks.
Pay goes up, gas goes up (the telecom fleet) so guess what?? Prices go up. |

People on 1.5 Mbps and 3 Mbps and 6 Mbps are getting screwed |

| Still not bad for less than $1 day
For the amount I use the internet compared to something like my car or boat, I say $1 day isn't bad at all. I don't know how we expect these companies to survive charging $15/mo. I too, would like to see 100mb lines running to my home, but for now I am satisfied w/3meg. |

That costs at&t around $15-$20. And no one on a 768 kbps conenction is going to do that. It probably costs at&t probably $3 a month in bandwidth for the average 768 Kbps user. |

For the raw data, I would agree, but then you start throwing in the cost of techs, CS, modems, then you are probably closer to $10-$11 per month. |

@comcast.net | As long as everyones costs keep rising..
do you really expect them to try and squeeze blood from a turnip? Prices should go up. And it's not a zero sum game with your wallet either. My paychecks higher than it was last year, how about yours? |

That is part of the cost of doing business. You can't seperate the cost out like that for the consumer. To the consumer they are paying x amount for the data. |

It especially works well with a lease. Put too many miles on your Comcast car and they'll cancel you. |
