Because - Like thousands of others - i fell for the
BullShit they offered on Television.

Not All of us are "Geeky Read Between the Line"
Guys - Like you.

Sympatico HighSpeed promised it's clients UNLIMITED
Internet for X-Amount of Dollars per Month. With the
Ability to Watch Movies - Play Online Gaming - Send
Vast Amounts of Data At Breakneck Speeds! Period.

Instead - We all received the Famous Sympatico Choke,
Idiot Tech Support - And Finally - the Cap.
They Are Ripping Us Off - And Blaming It On Others,
And Bleeding Hearts Like You - Are Falling 4 It!

What are you going to do 6 months down the line, when
they jack up the price to $100.00 Month? It is Possible,
and they will use the same Bullshit Excuse, and Sorry
Saps like yourself will justify It.
