Well - Then as a business "You Upgrade"! Buy Shit That Works - instead of Promoting one service, Changing your Mind - and Upping the Cost. No-One out there is an idiot - We all know the services are Cheaper than ever. The cost of everything is almost nothing. AND - If someone just wanted to look at his/her EMAIL - WHY would they even CARE about High Speed??? Wake Up! We were promised "UNLIMITED ACCESS"! PERIOD! Do You Not Speak English? HighSpeed Is Foe Users Who Use The Net Alot! Multimedia! Movies! Music! Servers! Etc...!!!!!!! What's so hard to Understand? If the people only wanted to have email or surf the net - they would spend $10.00 a month to do so! Who - In there right mind, would spend $50.00 a month for Email????????????????????????????????????????? Come-On! Who are you trying to Fool?
