How Many ISPs are Actually Selling You the Exact Same Thing?
Sure there are a lot of Internet Service Providers (ISPs), what I want to know is how many of them are actually able to sell me something that is fundamentally different in terms of service and not just marketing and customer support.
My hunch. Say you buy a can of beans for $0.99 cents from BeanBrandCo that offer cheap beans, you notice the nutritional information and ingredients list is EXACTLY the same as “Premium Bean Boys” $3.49 luxury bean mix. Wait were these beans harvested from the same field and packaged in the same factory? Are they just selling one with a fancier marketing label attached and expensive price tag to give you that premium feeling? Maybe.
At the end of the day I don’t know because I am not interested in researching these things. What I can tell you though is that I know that there is a difference (In Australia and New Zealand at least) between who you buy your internet contract from. For example ‘Leaptel’ and who is actually working behind the scenes to get the internet through those digital tubes and into your computer.
