Re: Doesn't Matter to Me

These so called price wars are useless to me in that most of the providers are offering the discounts to new customers. Existing customers get shafted...
Venture over to the Earthlink forum. Many of us existing customers got our DSL price reduced to $29.95 - $33.30/month just by calling and asking for a pricematch to the local telco's pricing. Have you tried ??

No, I haven't even tried because I'm locked into a contract with DSLExtreme and if I breach the contract then I get hit with a penalty.

| Actually, that's what many people still under contract found out with Earthlink too... EL *knows* they can't go anywhere if EL doesn't match prices. The large majority of people who did get a pricematch were OUT of their contract.

I was 3 months into my 1 year Covad contract when Covad lowered prices last Fall. Covad actually set up a web page for existing customers (contract or not) to request the lower pricing. I requested the lower pricing and the reduction appeared on my next bill. |
