Re: Are people really shocked?
said by wifi4milez  :Its almost as if I am talking to a wall! Nothing seems to get through to you..... said by Ahrenl :They don't charge for service. They don't provide service Thats interesting. So I suppose the providers that re-sell Utopia service are getting it for free? If thats the case then please sign me up to be a Utopia re-seller! Free money, cant be beat!! Read the next line in my last response. But of course, then you'd have nothing to say.
said by Ahrenl :Not to mention, to stay viable in the market, one usually does not INCREASE their price. Where do you come up with this crap? Who ever said anything about increasing prices??
said by Ahrenl :Utopia won't throttle or cap because THEY ARE NOT A SERVICE PROVIDER. For the answer to this one, lets refer back to my previous quote once again.
said by wifi4milez :They will ALL do whatever it takes to maximize profit while minimizing customer churn. If Utopia needs to do something in order to not LOSE money they will, trust me. I don't trust you, because you don't know what you're talking about. Utopia would only lose money if they had to rebuild major portions of their infrastructure, and they purchased the improper insurance. Or some new technology, not yet invented, appears to replace fiber optics. The ISP's who pay to access the infrastructure are the ones who determine service, and pay bandwidth costs. | |

said by wifi4milez :Its clear that you STILL dont get it. I never "blamed" Utopia for doing anything. I simply stated that Utopia is a business, and that a business will do whatever it takes to stay viable in the market. While Utopia themselves might not have been doing the throttling, capping, etc. that is at issue here, I can guarantee you that they would if it became necessary to support their business model. Get with the times pal. You're right I still don't get what you're talking about. Utopia is a municipal non-profit organization. They don't charge for service. They don't provide service. They charge a flat rate to ISP's (by flat I mean, the same for each ISP), to use the infrastructure. Not to mention, to stay viable in the market, one usually does not INCREASE their price. Price increases are usually due to market inefficiencies lending one of the bargaining players more power over the other. Utopia won't throttle or cap because THEY ARE NOT A SERVICE PROVIDER.
You're arguments would be considered if they were based in reality. | |
