Cost of broad Band

Over the past five to seven years the vast popularity and availability of broadband internet access has grown in to an industry in which a number of Internet Service Providers have become king. These elite group of ISPs’ are the cable companies which include Time Warner and Comcast, These two cable providers have the control of the Broadband internet connection market place, They use their domination to engage in unfair pricing practices which include differing introductory pricing schemes across different target markets. They also require first time customers and those whom have poor credit score to put down a deposit ahead of initiating a new service.

One method of price control the FTC could use is to enact a mandatory universal price cap upon these companies. This would dictate to the cable conglomerates the absolute peak price that they could charge for a basic internet connection account. The FTC should require all cable corporations to do away with prorated first month service and initiation charges. They should also provide the customer with net gear modems and router at no additional cost to the customer.

My final grade was a 755 of 900 which is a pretty good grade considering how long I took before sitting for the exam. I plan to take the ComPTia (220-604 Depot Technician) Elective in late February or early march. I will post and p date here after taking the Depot Tecnichian elective
