They know you are captive so they can ask whatever they please. Oh, if you do not live in upscale neighborhood you can wait much much longer.... |

We didn't have affordable broadband up until about 2002-2003, even as all the surrounding urban neighborhoods were getting wired up.
*laughs* I remember AT&T calling us then about a 128k ISDN line for the low-low price of $100+ a month. Uh-huh. We needed broadband, but we weren't about to pay 3x-4x subscription rates of the surrounding neighborhoods. |
