Hi SPG, I put your question to Chester, my friendly ChatGPT. This is what he wrote back after, oh, .05 seconds of thinking about it.
There could be several factors at play here. Some possible reasons why a 500Mbps optical service might be cheaper than a 20Mbps DSL service are:
Different technologies: DSL and optical services use different underlying technologies. Optical services, such as fiber-optic connections, generally offer higher speeds and more reliable performance compared to DSL.
Availability: The availability of high-speed optical services, especially fiber-optic connections, has increased in many areas. As competition grows, providers may offer more competitive pricing to attract customers.
Promotional offers: Providers often offer promotional discounts or introductory pricing to attract new customers. The cheaper price you're seeing could be a limited-time offer or part of a bundled package.
Contract terms: The pricing may depend on the contract terms and duration. Providers may offer lower prices for longer-term commitments or contracts with additional services.
Market competition: The competitive landscape and the presence of multiple service providers in your area can influence pricing. If there are multiple providers offering optical services, they may engage in price competition to gain market share.
It's essential to carefully review the details of any offer, including contract terms, potential data caps, equipment costs, and customer reviews, to ensure you understand the full scope of the service and any potential limitations or additional fees.
Yup, standard Chester answer with a disclaimer at the bottom.
Thanks D for the idea of a memorial being a better option. Not sure it might happen. We certainly don't plan one for my mom.
