Have you ever noticed that if something is advertised as 'amusing' or
'hilarious', it usually isn't?

That'd blow more than a months datacap on that shitty cheap plan Xtra have been
conning people to join - $16.95 a month for 3 months, 200mb cap.... excess usage
charges apply. Wonder how many have been caught out.

Yep, when you have no option!
Time-Warner has finally come up with high-speed but they want a fortune plus a 12 month contract.

There's hi-speed in the city but we are regarded as a 'low income' area and as such, they will not
provide service. This is something they are now doing nationwide.

I've had so many problems over the years with our provider, AT&T. Like you live where you do so
put up with it. How wrong they were to say that - they got told in no uncertain terms that we pay
the same price as those in the city area so are entitled to the same service and I would report them
to the powers that be for their attitude. Haven't had a problem since.

Phone companies here have been trying to get additional fees attached to our bills for 'rural phone
service'.
