I think I am getting ripped.

I've generally used GTE (now Viagra, er Verizon), but looking through my bills I see that they have been playing games. I started with the Silver package (384/384) for hosting @ $59 for the line and $69 for ISP. I now see that sometime in the last 2 months they switched me to the Bronze+ package (768/128) @ 32.50 for the line. However, to keep their profits, they raised ISP to $79.

Thats almost as much as I was paying for the small business Gold package (768/768) @ 159 (total) back in Tampa.

How much are you all paying, or more importantly, how badly am I getting ripped off.

I'm pissed enough to break my 1yr lease. They can't jerk me around and expect me to stick with them. I'm pissed! :|

I should be getting my dsl modem from Bellsouth sometime this week... in which case I'll be paying $40/month for 1.5/256 ADSL. If I got that from anybody else other than Earthlink it would be priced about $79/month. I don't see why they would switch you from 384/384 SDSL to 768/128 without your permission.. unless ofcourse they found out that they had problems at their end and you were never really getting the full 384 up...

US West, $114.90 per month. That's $65 for the line, $34.95 for the ISP and $14.95 for 8 static IP addresses (5 usable).
