K Fried chicken is my go to spot for good bulgogi and fried chicken. The spicy pork bulgogi is amazing, and their fried chicken sauced/non sauced is better than any other fried chicken in town.

Yeah, $65 was a deal Mediacom and AT&T couldn't beat, but for $100 Brightspeed is still way better lmao

>I was more confused on the how it makes financial sense for a hole in the wall record store to bootleg shirts.

It's cheap to bootleg shirts. You sell them for more than you paid to have them printed. It's pretty simple.

The store is small but it has had shirts for years so it's not like it's suddenly taking up space. I'm pretty sure they were booting shirts back when Wes owned it.

Hey, thanks.

I was more confused on the how it makes financial sense for a hole in the wall record store to bootleg shirts. Seems like they'd barely sell enough to cover labor, plus there's no room in that place.

>I guess if they're literally printing their own

Yes, that's how bootlegging works.

I guess if they're literally printing their own or ordering them online and reselling.

> Idk how they can get away printing other band's logos on their shirts without licensing fees,

Bootlegging t-shirts is easy and quite prevalent.

Plus, early adopters always get better rates. The first adopters pay for the rest of the plant to get built, then the rest of the customers are profit.

Not defending the process, but that's how it works.

I'd love to pay $100 for fast reliable service. I currently pay $80 for 40mb service that frequently drops out or gets congested to the point it's impossible to stream. Or when we do stream the quality constantly downshifts to blurry circa 2003 mode.

But back to your topic some ISPs are known to charge different rates in different areas for the same service.

When it comes to Brightspeed/Quantum, it's not just speed for me. This is a brand new network with brand new equipment. Mediacom's network is old and falling apart, which is what causes a lot of the issues their customers have. Brightspeed's network is maintained by City Utilities as well. Since they're already keeping an eye on lines it should make for a better maintained network. Price, reliability, & speed all played a factor in me choosing them.

Check your speed. Most households over buy speed. Most households do not need a gig of speed. I have 40meg with no issues and we stream everything plus I work from home. So ask yourself do you really need a gig

Gateway real estate in Nixa Joy helped me she’s amazing at her job

Good lord. From these comments, I'm glad I signed up when it was Quantum.

I’ve still got the $65 rate. Hopefully I’m grandfathered in and they don’t try and jack it up to $100.

I'm on the south west side. Just checked, and it would be $100/month for the 940 Mbps for me too. $60 for 200, $80 for 500. Was seriously thinking of switching, but definitely wont now.

I would pay $100/month for Brightspeed before I'd return to Mediacom, personally.

I just thought it was Wednesday, lol.

When we bought, we actually went to open houses we didn't intend to buy, just to do a vibe check with realtors. We found ours that way

Its enough to take a couple months off and find a new job

I'm guessing you've already reached out to them to make sure it's not an error.

That is interesting, I haven't seen anything about that yet.

By the way, CenturyLink/Lumen sold off their assets to a private equity company (Apollo), who created Brightspeed as company to run it. I would not be surprised to see things like this as private equity tries to squeeze out all the profits they can.

Consider yourself lucky they wanted to charge me $4200 for the install.

Us, too. They literally dug up our side yard to install the cable and then tried to charge us over 1,000 to connect to our house. So disappointing.

I bought from her 10 years ago and my daughter still gets a $2 bill in her birthday card.
