... On the consumer internet.
The Enterprise will exist without Net Neutrality just as it exists without the unreasonable tariffs we suffer as consumers. Google wil lhave to pay money to get around CONSUMER traffic and volume limits, but I don't think you'll see volume limits on business circuits in the foreseeable future.
- freehunter 14y agoI paid for a business line from Comcast even though I am residential for this very reason.
- mtowle 14y agoHow much does that run you? Has the monthly changed much over time? For residential at least, Comcast is known to give you a sweetheart deal for the first 12 or 24 months, then balloon your monthly.
- freehunter 14y agoI pay for the very basic speed, 16mbps down 3mbps up. I get pretty close to that most days. It costs me a bit over $70/mo after taxes for just Internet access. Comcast does offer phone and TV bundles that include limited-time deals, but I didn't go for that and this price hasn't changed on me in 3 years. There's no monthly data cap and the connection speed is more reliable, which is why I'm happy. I did have to pay a significant amount of money to get it set up. I don't remember exactly what the price was, but I believe it was in the neighborhood of $200 setup fee.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoNow that's a ripoff that countries with monopolized market have to live with. Where it isn't you can get 30/15 for $18/mo.
- freehunter 14y agoIt might be a ripoff, but it's the best I can get. You learn to live with what you have. Would I like cheaper, faster Internet? Hell yes. Can I get it? Nope :(
