With a laptop that doesn't run over a few minutes without crapping out, I decided its best to just keep the $42.95 per month for their high-speed internet service in my pocket. Or better yet, start a college fund for Jackson. At $500.00 per year with interested compounded annually, well, that's something anyway.
Actually I'll prbably re-up after I replace my hard drive. i'm having withdrawals already just knowing it's gone, even though I wasn't using it. Hopefully I'll get in at the $24.95 per month for the first 6 months special this summer.
What's the deal with broadband costs anyway? Shouldn't the prices be coming down as the user base rises? Where are UTC professors of economics when these injustices arise?

It seems that as more new technologies become "necessary" in people's minds, they can justify "needing" the technology and "having" to pay for it -- no matter the price, nor traditional economic principles.
