Pricing of these kinds of services is out of control here in SoCal.
I remember they buried a lot of cable / optic because of over capacity. In some cases, just cut it of at the ground.
I use my Cellphone maybe 30 or 40 minutes per month. NO texting or other advanced features. I can't buy a plan under like 4 hours......I'd might be able to get along with a k-mart phone and just buy minutes as I use them. Too bad the network probably sucks.
Internet speed / cost ratio is similarly out of control. They try to 'upsell' you at every opportunity.
Just an example: If I went to Cable they have a 3 meg service. Cost? The 3 month introductory price is 20$/month. Regular price? 39$ month! It's an outrage. You're probably hooked into a contract, too. 1 year min or perhaps even 2. That's over 400$ the first year.
The (claimed) advantage of cable is no bogging down due to system loading. hmmmmm
The ATT product? Who knows? They want you to use THEIR equipment, like wireless router etc.
And I can't get FIOS here, not that I want anything more to do with Verizon.
Can't you get faster DSL? I've seen 6 meg speeds advertised (DSL Extreme) but they won't sell me that HERE.
I've had cable before and it was great. You'll need the latest / greatest modem, but you'd be set for the next 7 years.
Too much is never enough
