venting, utilities stuff, very annoyed
very frustrated at centurylink now
they advertise a 940 megabit symmetric plan for $65/mo, or 100 megabit symmetric for $50/mo, if i try to get it by their main website
but the apartment complex has a contract with them that apparently locks us into paying $80/mo if we want 1 gigabit symmetric, or $60/mo for 100/50
why
why the *fuck* can we not get the cheaper version of the same plan solely because the only apartment complex in the area with openings has some kind of deal with them
-F
just... does anyone know what can be done here
can someone provide *some* kind of help
-F
@Felthry Unfortunately, outside of lawyering up, I am not sure anything could be done. Perhaps send an angry letter?
@FreyaManibrandr we are very not good at that kind of thing
we tend to shut down when we get this frustrated
it's not just us right
this is indeed some complete BS?
-F
@FreyaManibrandr well yeah i know that prices for internet in the US are absurd to begin with compared to elsewhere but i'm mostly thinking this whole thing with being locked into a bad deal because of our apartment complex
-F
@Felthry Yeah, that is like another layer of bullshit that they're pulling just because they could. The building owners probably got a cut of the extra profit too.
@Felthry Yeah, I pay $20 for 100/100, and my next contract offer would be $25 for 200/200
Outside of contract, my service would be $45/mo
