    Blame Verizon, not Millenicom, Verizon sells access to Millinicom. Verizon raised rates to Millinicom.


    Why blame anyone? As bandwidth demands increase, the providers have to upgrade or add equipment to accommodate those demands. None of that is free.


    Typically as demand increases, cost goes down not up. The US has the slowest and most expensive internet service of the industrial nations.

    The price increase has nothing to do with cost increase, it is the provider taking higher profits due to the lack of true competition in the marketplace.


    you're forgetting the supply side of the equation.

    You just hit the nail on the head.

    Gonna have to rethink the move away from VZ now


    Verizon 20 GB = $150/mon
    Millenicom 20 GB = $90/mon

    So why do you want to stay with Verizon?
