Most US ISP's won't do this..... in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r9076085 en Sat, 28 Nov 2009 06:07:46 EDT Sat, 28 Nov 2009 06:07:46 EDT Most US ISP's won't do this..... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9076085 moonpuppy : Why you ask?

How many of them claim all you pay for is a connection? Most claim newsgroups are free and so is email. If either one goes out, no credit for services.

Now, say Comcast (for example) would offer a bare bones connection for $30/month vs. their $42/month for cable TV subscribers. All of a sudden we see that email and newsgroups are worth $12 in price reductions. Then people would want credits near that amount if email goes down.

Also, this is easy money for the ISP. Bare bones cuts back on profits.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9076085 Wed, 14 Jan 2004 13:03:20 EDT
