Verizon and AT&T sue nys over $15/month high speed internet

[Saltwater60]

I say good I hope they win. If nys wants cheap internet then they should pay for it not companies. Either way it’s you and I paying for it but I don’t think the government has the right to dictate the price of a good or service.

My prediction- they offer the $15 internet as mandated and the taxpayers pay the rest of the bill. State is happy that they get another mandate on the books and company is happy because they are going to vastly overcharge the balance of the "low cost" internet and make huge profits.

Governor Cuomo said he knew there’d be pushback.

I want to watch ISIS throw that motherfucker off a roof.

I hope they win too.

A really, really high one so its not over too fast.

So NOW we can make voter ID required. Since, you know, lack of internet was a major hangup for poor people. Right?

Verizon is a crooked company. They make a deal with you for one amount (in writing) and bill you for a higher amount. Then they admit their mistake, but never correct it. I thought my experience with them was a fluke until several people told me they had the same or similar issue with Verizon. I hope they go out of business.

They couldn't hope in their wildest imagination to be as cooked as the government.

You can choose to not use Verizon. The government, not so much.

I don't care who wins this lawsuit, Verizon is a crooked company and people should avoid doing business with Verizon.

I wish we could avoid doing business with the government.

No. One that's high enough so that when he lands he suffers a slow painful death like those of us living and paying taxes in this state.

Don't worry- they're doing their best to make sure we all qualify.

Have you seen all the commercials lately? The news app my wife watches on Roku has 6 ads every so often. Now it is 5-6 repeated Spectrum Covid/Vaccine propaganda ads, every single break.

You have to know about Verizon to avoid doing business with Verizon.

Worked at a call center for them for a while. That was enough.

We see the same crap on Roku.

Kill the sound and ignore them.

The adverts with people wearing masks everywhere just piss me off.

It's becoming a nation of brain-dead zombies.

Its not just the ads. All shows have been exaggerating a fake pandemic, and clearly pushing an agenda along the way. I only watch YT, which allows me to limit my exposure to that crap, but my wife only watches Grey's Anatomy and similar garbage. Those shows are full of it. When she gets the remote first, I just go to sleep.

Mrs. prambo watches British mystery shows. Must have watched the Midsomer Murder series 10+ times.

When the adverts come on, the sound goes off, and that's either preceded or followed by some form of "Oh, go fuck yourself, asshole."

ETA: I'm in at the 'puter watching The Outlaw Josey Wales, John Wick, Riddick or The Equalizer for the millionth time.

Spectrum has offered it for a while:

They probably asked for it to be mandatory to bankrupt the competition.

I mean, technically we choose every day. Remember, the people have the option to cast off their government at any point. We just haven't chosen to, yet. People feel the system works well enough to keep it around, I guess.

We choose to allow this shit show to continue because chaos is worse, basically.

I want them to lose. I want everyone to feel communism.

 

[vago]

the only reason for cheap internet is for two reasons low-income families and retired people who don't need online gaming speeds
I am retired, former employee of Time Warner, today it is a charter corporation, but the local name is spectrum
I have 1495 monthly internet plus cable service
dilemma because the government enters here, two reasons money from the franchises and federal taxes
FCC is the one who grabs our money
many errors like ATT let him buy
Direct tv and also Dish Network
monopoly

 

[FP1201]

I don't know where these low rates are; We pay Spectrum for Cable & Internet $175. a month and (4) paid off Verizon phones are $240. 'course there's $40 worth of Taxes and Fees buried in there.
