Re: [Nolug] New feature of Cox High Speed Internet

More? The $150/mo I'm paying now isn't enough? I'm already considering
ditching Cox as it is, the costs just keep going up and up. A few years ago
it was $120, and I haven't added any services to my account. The prices go
up, and the amount of service we receive is going down. This is backwards,
considering as technology improves, prices should be going down, as they are
in every other country. In the US there is far too much monopolization on
communications.
