Reply #2: LOL- is there any other kind with him? In this case the slip-in is tiered pricing for wired...

...internet. Well, that doesn't sound like such a bad thing, right? Well, it means ISP's can set a tiered pricing structure to your liking, including overage charges. This is something Comcast has been drooling over because it means they can set the tiers high enough so that the cheapest base internet service is still more expensive than the cheapest service already offered.

Or, to think of it in another way- the race to be the cheapest ISP is going to turn around into something more of an environment where very big ISPs like Comcast (especially Comcast) and Verizon & AT&T will be able to work out a very high "bottom" price, among themselves. If you want internet you're going to have to pay that price.
