| Re: hmmm said by 53059959  :you mean justins telephone number? i'm sure the post would be removed almost immediately if I did, will you take a pm? LOL I believe it was a rhetorical question, to point out that Broadband Reports also believes that live telephone assistance is a costly resource, despite their mockery of AT&T for believing the same. | |

| Re: hmmm Established business I guess? I normally think of att as big business and think of dsl reports as organization. But BBR does have 4 or so employees i think i remember reading. A lot of people here volunteer their time such as the mods.

Its a good point you're trying to make, but you're comparing apples to oranges here. | |

Its a good point you're trying to make, but you're comparing apples to oranges here. Perhaps, but everything Internet needs some sort of tech support. More direct services (ISP, VoIP, etc) vs high touch content (Amazon, E*Trade) or even ad revenue based forums (Digg, BBR, etc).
Some have a phone system due to a close customer relationship (Broadband, E*Trade) and some choose to have a cheaper email based interface like Google, ad supported BBR, etc. The later have cheaper costs due to the lower support costs. Basic business decisions.
Welcome to America. Have a nice day. | |

| Re: hmmm said by Dogfather :With your logic they should also charge for ANY customer service call. It should also be $5 to add features to my account. But no, they just want to cherry pick what overhead to itemize. They'd probably cherry-pick everything they could come across as fees, if given the option. However, I think they'd be hard to make tech support a similar pay-per-call basis. Why? Well if your internet connection doesn't work, then what incentive do they have to keep paying monthlies for "faulty" services? That's why they have customer tech support, and additionally why ISPs don't commonly troubleshoot customer's PCs for them. (Its outside their job scope, and a different product market alltogether) | |

They want to sell you on $15 DSL that is $22 or $30 phone service that's really $45. | |
