netflix is self funding some deecee content so they can start to go at things alone now even with a lack of movie content netflix-showtime-hbo merger would own

the triple play being the same cost as standalone Internet is before local taxes on tv broadcast, taxes associated with the landline (911, USF, other poo poo) and a minimum of one monthly rental fee for a TV box often im also a fan of Verizon's $5 "privacy fee" where they'll list your landline number in the phone book for more telemarketing exposure unless you pay them $5/extra us broadband/tv service is a loving gouge

if you have your own router for verizon fios you can no longer order the service online without a $10/month router rental tied to the order, you have to call in and have them manually submit an order without it

BiohazrD posted:we literally have the land line disconnected but pay for it because its cheaper with the triple play there are currently some promotions where this is true right now 100 Mbps/internet + basic TV is $65/month in my area but I just cancelled standalone 75 Mbps Internet for $75/month because various promotions from the double play package were expiring im on Comcast for a few weeks and then I'm gonna switch back to Verizon as a new customer gotta play a dance every year or two to not pay $120+/month for loving internet access

its all done to extract as much money out of people as possible because we've all been beaten into submission to pay whatever the gently caress comcast/time warner/verizon/att ask for 90% of people will just pay their bill

The Management posted:I will literally pay someone for a bill optimization service, where they call Comcast or cancel and sign up and do whatever it takes to get me the best rate every year. would pay for this service even if it didnt save me any money just to spite verizon

Panty Saluter posted:I realize this is somewhat regressive thinking, but do households with fewer than 10 streams running simultaneously and/or some sort of server really need more than 50/50? Even when 4k becomes de facto I would think that h.265 means the real bandwidth requirements would not be much greater. nope 99.9% of people would be fine with 50 mbps, even myself it's about having good wifi and a connection with low latency that's stable that makes a residential internet connection not poo poo
