No, that much was clear, none of them are contracted.

Ghoulish Delight · 01-10-2012, 05:28 PM

Okay, finally got a straight answer (though not without a little bit more confusion first).

The ones that say "For 12 months", the rate is locked in for 12 months. The others, the rate can change at any time.

Which, btw, completely contradicts what Mack said when I explicitly asked that question.

Wow. I can see why you're confused. Were confused. How's a person supposed to know which one to pick?

Is "Mac" an Eliza program?

Morri: I almost lost a mouthful at that. But actually it could be.... When I worked for an ISP, we had a livechat client that suggested responses based on the customers question and all we had to do was click "Send" if we wanted to - otherwise we could write our own responses.

Sounds like someone was clicking send a little too often without reading the conversation....

Only if someone decided to write the canned responses as if they were coming from a non-native English speaker.

Gary and I laughed because we have done the round and round before. I swear they get you more confused than when you started. I usually let him handle those, he's more concise and isn't easily frustrated with stupid people!

Even when you do get some answer at the end of all that, do you really trust the information?

Ghoulish Delight · 01-11-2012, 09:13 AM

Not 100%, but at least the answer I think I finally got actually makes sense, so I'll stick with it.

In the end, it doesn't really matter. I'm not a new customer, I was just looking at what they are offering the new customers so I can use it as a point of reference when I call to renegotiate our service.
