For years Digicert used to be marginally cheaper than Comodo with a better service.

They got to be the code signing CA by being this exact combo - inexpensive product with good support - and being granted the top link on the high-traffic MSDN page because of that. That's what DigiCert was.

Now they are suddenly 3x more expensive with comparably troublesome support.

What unrealistic expectations and who's being cheap here exactly?

Riding the coupon created exclusively for hardware suppliers while bombarding support being a software guy is disrespectful behavior by any means.

Sure, some people do not see it that way, but only until the table is turned.

Edit: I am pretty sure that topic starter has Eastern European or Middle Eastern origin where being as cheap as possible is a prevalent idea. Even when it breaks people around you.

What makes you think he/she is Eastern European or Middle Eastern?

What makes you say he was "...bombarding support.."?
