Anyway, what's on my mind today?
BLUE RIDGE COMMUNICATIONS AND THEIR LIES!
Okay, so like... Blue Ridge is switching to 100% digital, and will be giving all current customers a box, or else the service will no longer be usable. Fair enough.
Here's the kicker... They say that with this switch, they'll be able to increase their internet speeds all across the board.
Keyword... able.
You see, I contacted their people, talking to a few different workers, and even a manager... and they said they have no plans to increase their base speeds, and anyone already paying for a plan is more likely to get another price increase than a speed increase-- which is coming, by the way. They're gonna slap 10 more dollars onto everyone's bills because they feel like it, without increasing their speeds one bit. The "Another" in that sentence means another price increase on top of that 10 dollar increase.
So even though they say they're switching to 100% digital for faster internet speeds... they're not going to increase internet speeds at all. Instead, they're going to charge the customers more, and since many can't switch, the customers will have to deal with it.
Horrible.
If it turns out that these jerks actually DO increase their speed, I will let you guys know. But I'm not holding my breath. They deserve their 1-star rating.
