An ISP LOWERING Their Prices??!!

This is just so bizarre and out of the norm, I've gotta post something about it! I get my high speed internet through a local company which uses broadband towers. The signal is broadcast over the air and I have a small antenna on my roof to pick it up. It has it limits including distance which is about 7 miles from a tower and a requirement for line-of-sight. About 2 years ago, they did some upgrades and were finally able to offer 10Mbps with unlimited data for $100 a month. Yay! Netflix! Amazon Prime!

Last week I got an email saying they had made some upgrades and changes and were now offering my 10 Mbps package for $60 and a new 15 Mbps package for $85. WHAT? More for less? I totally jumped on that 15 Mbps package for $15 less that I've been paying!

Holy cow! When was the last time you heard of something like THIS happening! I know they were part of some big grant to help get high speed broadband to rural areas, so maybe that was it. All I know is I'm paying less for another 5 Mbps of speed and still have unlimited data.

Good news when most of the time prices only go one way Draclvr!

That's a nice treat, Drac! Do you think they could be angling for something delicious from your world-famous garden this year?

[draclvr]
