Only $55/mo for Comcast? Consider yourself lucky. :p Zalis Send a noteboard - 31/05/2012 04:01:44 PM
When I moved here 4 years ago, I had a rate of $35/mo for their 6down service. When the promotional period ended, it went to $47/mo. Not too bad, I thought. Then, $57/mo. By the time I moved in February, I was paying about $70/mo after tax. It was ridiculous, and I never did anything to upgrade my service.

On the upside, despite over-charging, Comcast has always erred on the side of being faster than what I'm paying for.
The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.

It's to stop "pirates." And by "pirates," I mean, "people who play used games." *NM* Aemon - 30/05/2012 04:31:22 AM 422 Views
Scary that in order to curb one practice - they are alienating a whole section ... Roonas - 05/06/2012 08:30:15 AM 914 Views
Close... it's for control, for a variety of reasons. "piracy" and the used game market are the tip lord-of-shadow - 07/06/2012 03:21:58 AM 893 Views
Fair enough. I guess used-game concerns are more of a console thing. *NM* Aemon - 07/06/2012 03:54:47 AM 434 Views
This is why I stopped playing Blizzard Games. MightyYT - 30/05/2012 06:13:34 AM 890 Views

You need to have followed the whole story a bit more to understand. Aemon - 05/06/2012 09:14:48 PM 795 Views

The difference I see is that Steam has an offline mode that (mostly) works. D3 has none. *NM* Zalis - 30/05/2012 08:09:40 PM 433 Views
yah...I only recently got into Steam. and ONLY because I've been moving a lot LadyLorraine - 30/05/2012 09:01:31 PM 1036 Views
It's still a good thing, the problem is that we're in a period of transition. Aemon - 30/05/2012 09:26:46 PM 929 Views
The biggest issues I see right now are bandwith caps & speed. Zalis - 30/05/2012 09:44:10 PM 882 Views
Oh sure, I agree. We're definitely not there yet. Aemon - 31/05/2012 01:17:58 AM 909 Views

Sorry for your troubles, but you're something of an outlier. Aemon - 31/05/2012 07:31:53 PM 886 Views
Hmm ... that's scary ... Roonas - 05/06/2012 09:21:42 AM 904 Views

I don't think I've ever used an analogy on the internet that people didn't complain about. Aemon - 31/05/2012 04:46:17 AM 761 Views

Stuff like D3's always-on DRM and phone home schemes in no way contribute to that future. lord-of-shadow - 07/06/2012 03:26:08 AM 841 Views
