If nobody complains nothing has any chance of changing. Plus, I don't complain about their $50 per year fee for gaming. I bitch about their forcing members of the same household to pay separate fees for the same friggin service and how they are now withholding special deals from silver members even more in order to get them to upgrade.

Your point about M$ never going free because of it pissing off currently paying customers is exactly why I don't like their business model. It can never change for the better because they have so many people tied to them now. With the cost of ISPs going up rather than down PLUS the ISPs keep scaling back their speeds while upping the charges, paying for more online services becomes less of an option for many people.

ISPs is going up? i just got a huge discount on my cable. I went from 40 a month, down to 30 becuase i told them i was going to change to dsl, so they gave me 6 months at 30. There is no way in hell they want to lose costomers right now with the economy how it is.
Again, you can only get the good deals from the person who actually disconnects the service. Gotta work them. |

Try having Cox cable & AT&T slow ass DSL as your choices. Cox KNOWS that anyone that really wants to surf the net and look at good quality porn needs to have their cable.

Cox is overpriced for a speed I just plain don't need and their tiers suck ass. There is no way in hell I am paying $40 to $50 per month for the friggin internet. Going from $20 to $25 was damn painful step for me as I think internet is only worth $20 max. This alone is the only reason I haven't forked out $30 for the Playon service. I have no doubt it won't stream worth a crap if I drop to 768 and I don't want to feel forced to upgrade just to be able to use that. I think online gamine will still function fine at 768 though as I have had large downloads running while still playing online.

There is no reason for M$ to charge per person in a household other than the fact it is a cash grab. If I have a friend over that wants to use his profile on my box they can track that because a family machine should be made up of all sub accounts and one main account. If you are not a sub then it is obvious you are not a member of that console. That is all MS needs to do to track that supposed dilemma.

We used to have the same thing, mainly because it was the only speed they had out where I live. (And technically, we're too far away -- 17,000 feet from a station -- and weren't even supposed to have that.) They upgraded us a few months back to the 3.0 but, for some reason, they never raised our price. We only pay $12 a month for it. You need to call AT&T and pitch a bitch. MM ~~
