  • That’s not how pricing works. They already have the price they think makes them the most money. Raising prices means losing customers to competition, netting a loss.

    So they would just lose 1000 customers and not raise the price because that would mean an even higher loss.

    It’s different, of course when including that all ISPs would be hit with this. One can only speculate what will happen. All those pirates will want alternative ISPs, probably paying extra for privacy. The rest will stay in a dying market where competition for the remaining customers would be fierce, probably with lower prices.














  • It’s actually the company’s problem. They usually opt to add more debt though, rather that wade through the old stuff.

    In the end, all software sucks and should be replaced as soon as possible. Code quality is a lie we tell ourselves so that we can sometimes be proud of our work. It’s usually the code we are most proud of that is the worst. Design patterns everywhere making the vode overly convoluted and “future proof”. The only future proofing that happens is that no-one will understand it, so they won’t change it. Trying to design for the future usually makes it harder in the future.
