They're becoming just another shitty ISP. Just a few months ago they offered me a Mini for no monthly cost, as long as I kept a service plan on it. Standby mode was $5/mo. I was looking forward to using it this summer, and activating a roam plan for a few months.

3 months later, standby mode goes up to $10/mo and they jacked up my regular rates again to $120/mo. I sent the fucking mini back. Talk about bait and switch.

So then I heard they came up with this 200mbit plan that was only $85/mo. I have a gen 1 dish, which can only do about 140mbits anyways. So why am I even on this fucking 'max' plan? But the cheaper plans are "not available in my area". I'm guessing that's because I have no other options in my area.
