But that’s because you decided to take on currency risk without hedging or having a matched foreign income stream.

That’s not what anybody with scale will have done.

And now you have to reevaluate the cost of that service relative to the alternatives - including letting them know they need to take fewer Euros to retain your custom vs the competitive alternatives.

Customers are hard to come by. Are they prepared to let you go?

You're just shifting the goalposts here.

I will still stick with them because they're better value than the American alternatives, but that's beside the point.

You were arguing that the same number of dollars will get me the same number of goods and services, which is not true.

"You were arguing that the same number of dollars will get me the same number of goods and services, which is not true."

In aggregate within a rational competitive framework.

It is true for those that are rational and subject to competition.

Where else are they going to sell their stuff? Why would you agree to pay more?

Your behaviour will change, as will everybody elses - and you're the customer. So you go back to them and say no I won't pay any more. Haggle. Are they going to turn you away?

Why is you agreeing to pay more more important than the other person who decides it is too much and cancels the service?

Changing the goalposts is assuming you, and everybody else, are always a price taker, passively accepting what you are given. That's describing a monopoly/oligopoly scenario.

I'm sure that isn't the case.
