I think the internet equivalent of the wireless industry as a whole (instead of just this situation, which you noted) would be the following:
1. Misleading pricing that never matches the advertised rates
2. Unexplained and unrefunded outages
3. Misleading services that have built in caps that aren't explicitly stated in company literature or advertising
4. For consumers, only able to choose between 1-4 providers, based on your location
5. Normal hold times of 30 to 60 minutes
Oh wait, that's how the internet is if you're stuck with Comcast, RCN, et al in the States. It's almost uncanny how much the internet providers, wireless providers and the RIAA/Big Labels have in common including their share prices.
- time_management 18y agoAutomatic bill payment is a great thing, especially for people who are busy and would miss payments if it didn't exist. However, it unfortunately allows companies to get away with a lot of crap, given that the majority of customers are no longer reading monthly bills and don't notice the fluctuations.
