An awful fact of life in pseudo-capitalist America: if a corporate entity can charge you more, they will (and it does NOT matter whether it aligns to traditional supply-and-demand models or not)...And in the case of internet service (in the U.S.), consumers can not exercise their market ability to move to an alternative provider. In America, on paper it states "market capitalism"...but - at least for internet service - in reality, it is nothing more than an awful form of the not-nice parts of communism. We lack choice in our markets. </vent>
