It's ok. I'm not sure if it's my phone or the service but I get some people complaining about me breaking up every now and then. But it's not terrible.
I don't make a lot of calls, mostly text and data so its a much better plan for me.
comcast + verizon = scumbags

You really ARE a big Telecom shill. Unrepentant at that.
Are you saying oldmodman is making shit up?
No, I'm a realist. People have this idea of IT/Telecom being a cheap resource like sunlight and it simply isn't. I don't believe oldmodman is necessarily lying, but being misinformed. Also it's been talked about before, comparing Korea to here is dumb in the first place simply because of geographic size.
To the OP, lol people make mistakes. Maybe this person giving you quotes over the phone assumed you already had HD service. You know because everyone does, even those on foodstamps:dw:

Because he isn't. There are many places, including the Middle East that have access to the Internet almost exclusively through broadband and satellite connections. The amount we pay per month for cellular data plans and cable Internet plans is more than what most of those people make per month. Yes, companies here have to deal with more traffic compared to Egypt but the network in Egypt is also much smaller in comparison so I would argue they are similar if scaled.
You answered part of the question here. They don't make as much money as we do.
Verizon, unlimited data here. Looks like my pay period just reset. I'm at half a GB in less than 48 hours. :lol:
How is it their problem that you ****ed up? :dw:

Dude, Charter to me, is the best. I had them for four years. Wish I couldn't leave them. I'm going with oceanic twc now.. Hopefully they'll treat me good.
I agree on the merits of your post but I highly doubt the conversation went exactly how you said. Also your bill must be pretty small if you notice that kind of increase. My cell is like 225 a month from att and my uverse is like 245.
Yeah, I really don't understand this reply
MyI wife has been looking into them for our next company but I am not sure yet.
Yes I have seen this. Of course there is the lower operating costs associated with operating in their economy to consider that will allow them to drive down the price somewhat.
Although I do believe the prices charged by the telecommunications industry is too high, the fact is that it is so ingrained into our way of life that we as a society are going to pay it. The pharmacutical industry is the same way. They charge more money here than other places because we can pay it. I do not have a problem with the prices as much as the way customers are treated, after all you agreed to the price when you signed the contract. Adding random charges, changing peoples plans, increasing plan prices during a contract... these are the things I have a problem with.
I get the meme. Anytime there is a cable company thread over there that is usually one of the first posts.
There are no words to describe my hatred for Comcast. My blood boils at the thought of thinking about them. They are the worst company in the world and Verizon is not far from behind. I could write a book about all the things both companies have unfairly done to me in the past, but I want to have a good day, so please just take my word that I hate them more than anything.
That said, I am beyond blessed that we bought a house in a gated community that doesn't use Comcast. They use a company called Zito Media. I didn't know this until after we bought the house, and once I knew I thought we had won the lottery.
As for Verizon, the only thing keeping us with them at the moment is the unlimited data, and I hate to say it but their reliable service. I started a thread on here not long ago about going with Straight talk and paying $45 a month, but I have yet to pull the trigger on that as I need the most reliable service out there for taking credit card transactions. Not having good service could cost me more money, so IDK. I guess if I didn't own a business, I'd cancel them in a heart beat and never look back.

I just got rid of Comcast today. Yay!
Our town has its own utility company - albeit separate from the government itself. They provide electricity, gas, internet, cable and water/sewer. Gas is really cheap as is the electricity. Cable and internet are reasonable - but service is top notch. In the one or two times over 30 years or so I needed service, never waited more than 30 minutes. Need a new cable hook-up n your house? $25 regardless of where it needs to go, how long it takes, etc. All I hear are horror stories about Comcast.
