In the past when speeds increased you had to buy a new modem to take advantage of them, initially these were incredibly expensive, this cost had to be added to your overall telecoms costs.
It seems to me that you could complain about the price of houses, food, clothes, booze, cars, petrol and virtually every other commodity, but surely not telecoms, be fair.
In todayââ‚ÆšÃ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s telecom world we are spoiled rotten.
