Basic economics tells us that when there is more demand than supply, prices should go up. That was the case here. The price increase does not seem to have slowed the influx of new customers, even at the higher speeds. I'm stunned by this, but it really is the case. Even the waiting list has continued to grow. People continue to even opt for the $48 per month 128,000 bps max Full Access selection! I don't understand it, but I don't bother questioning it. The more money that comes in the better upgrades we can make in retention, bandwidth, and robustness. It also increases our ability to fight the government if they choose to seize the equipment. However, I realize many of you stuck with us through very bad times, retention wise, and that loyalty should not go unrewarded. Therefore, anyone who was a customer before 8/1/98 and did not cancel, now has the ability to adjust their services selection using the pre-10/1/98 pricing scheme (ex. Full Access is $10 per 32,000 bps). To do this, please send your request to support@alt.net with the subject line "LOYAL CUSTOMER WANTS GOOD DEAL". This offer is good until the end of 1998. I am not joking. Chris Caputo President, Altopia Corporation
