dosent cricket give unlimited wi fi for 40 a month
Reminds me of when AOL was giving away emachines for their online service.
Look at where AOL is today? :) Do your own correlations.
I meant 25 gigs of data a day.
What we need is a game changer in the US. Back in the 90's all the ISPs were the same, you got xxx number of hours a month for internet access at $20/month. Then AOL came along and changed it all by offering unlimited access. Then ALL the ISPs had to change to match. We need an AOL in the cell phone business. $50 / month unlimited calling, $30 unlimited data with the $50 plan.
Even in the UK you can add a gig of data a month to your contract for five quid (about 7 bucks) and for 10 gigs usually around £15-£20 ($25-$35)
...when it comes to internet service. And people just bend over and take it in the rear. We are a generation behind on everything and a price level above what we should be. $40 for 50 megs? That gives you 25 megs of data a month. Hell, I'd probably burn through that with my e-mail alone. And Verizon isn't alone, all the phone service providers are the same.
