US Broadband ISPs Expect Price Cuts

prostoalex writes "US broadband providers are trying to avoid the price wars, but the cost of DSL and cable hookups is still headed down with major promotions from players like Comcast and Yahoo/SBC. Currently there are 22 million US subscribers, 2 million of which subscribed during the past three months. It looks like the prices for broadband Internet are headed towards $20-30/month range, although most operators prefer to lock you into a yearly contract or provide special price for the first several months only."

    Come on, now. There's a REASON for questioning the sexuality of Macintosh users. The general population, contrary to the rantings of professional gay marrriage advocates, are about 0.5% to 1% homosexual. Bisexuals don't count, they're just orgasm-no-matter-how-I-get-it fiends; transgender isn't an orientation at all, it's just a slip of the scalpel. And lesbians aren't really homosexual, they just like making hetero men horny as hell.

    ON THE OTHER HAND... fully 75% of the Macintosh-using population are provably doing the butt-hole surfing.

    So, Steve "I only stole BSD twice" Job is selling a product that CAUSES homosexuality!

    Now I hope this puts the matter to rest.
