The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I've been using Optimum for years. I have a love-hate relationship. Their service has always been good, but every time I come to the end of a service year, I have to threaten them with leaving to get the deal de jour at a rational price. I use internet only ("land line" is VOIP and TV is by antenna).

My existing 300mbps contract is "specially priced" at $34 a month, but is due to rise in a couple of weeks. My internet streaming needs are nominal. (I came across the following:

optimum.com - List quotes

Which offers a 5-year price protected 100 Mbps Internet connection for $15 a month and thought (assuming you are in there coverage area) it was a good enough deal to mention it here.
