Hi all, This is only tangentially computer-related, because it has to do with internet services. [1]
My 'special offer' with AT&T ended, so my cable+tv bill went up ~$60/month to ~$190/month (!). This could be lowered to $172/month by reducing the number of worthless shopping channels. I priced out 'new customer' offers from Spectrum, and found that I could get roughly equivalent service for roughly $20/month less including 'Spectrum Ultra' which advertises up to 400Mbps downloads [2]. The one problem is Spectrum says nothing about their upload speeds, and I need to know such things for work. Does anyone have any idea what upload speed is? Online I found ~20Mbps. Is this right? My AT&T seems to be symmetric up and down at 60Mbps. I couldn't care less about the download speed, but the quick upload speed is nice. Also: does anyone have modern negotiation techniques for trying to lower the price? In the past (or rather: up to 2017), just asking was good enough to lower the bill. Last year and this year telling the person the price from the competition did no good. Cheers, Bill [1] Or rather: new requirement for life because of companies which require online bill paying. [2] Of course 'up to 400Mbps' includes things like 1Mbps. _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list Posting address: MacGroup@erdos.math.louisville.edu Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/macgroup@erdos.math.louisville.edu/> Answers to questions: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup/>
