| A year from now.. I can't wait to see Verizon's numbers a year from now.. all these price hikes are going to push customers away.. it's just a matter of time.. it's alot harder to hide customer loss these days even though they try to keep customers on the books by delaying their refunds due to them.
Higher prices in wireless AND wireline are going to hurt Verizon. Let's see how long they can be arrogant with higher prices theme... I have plenty of time until my cableco price lock expires.. and even off discount I'd still save money over the sky's the limit FIOS prices.
Fiber Optic
Internet
Overpriced
Stuck in a bundled contract to get any discount |

You know some people actually DO save with Share Everything. To say Share Everything is a price hike is being hyperbolic. Everything has a point of view.. these are all just words here as the thread says.. unlimited is just a word, so is overcharge.. price hike is two words, lol. The main idea is Verizon seeks to change the rules for data sales in a way that increases revenue for them.. possibly for multiple lines this might make sense, since they decide to keep truly unlimited at the ~$100 a month pricepoint if they decide to offer it at all. Nevertheless, you have to weigh a SHARED data plan against what else is available in the market.. and that is to say "unlimited" prepaid options around $40 - $60 a month each. These offer primary data at fast speeds and then throttle down typically. The most compatible will be StraightTalk and Net10 because they mostly use AT&T and Verizon as MVNO partners. So, people have choices and until they fully check out what works in back of the envelope math and weighing the pros and cons of prepaid phones/service (plus bottom line costs) you really can't paint a broad picture and say Verizon's service is in eveyone's best interest. The simple fact is, postpaid account growth is slowing precisely because of higher costs from the two big carriers. When the gravy train stops flowing carriers will have to reassess whether they wish to continue with these consumption based billing pratices and/or offer better & more cost effective options.
big corporations are testing to see how much people are willing to pay in this new world era (post 2001, 2003) for goods and services. These (postpaid) models may work for a while, but eventually the model breaks down and stops working. That's why the MVNO/prepaid model is there to fall back upon- rather than have these customers not buy cellphone service at all.. |
