The view of the gouge continues..... Its
our opinion that Cisco is as bad if not worse
than the Bell Telcos. Cisco hammers the
userbase with outrageously high prices and of
course, grins all the way to the bank.
Problem is, HDLC its a worldwide protocol
right? Its supposed to be but not
according to Cisco. They have chewed
this protocol up and called it
proprietary! By doing so, users are
practically FORCED to use Cisco routers if
the service they are going through is using
Cisco equipment. This is wrong.
Recently Cisco was investigated. Our
opinion is the "investigators" did
not dig deep enough or, Cisco's people found
the investigator's "magic
button". Cisco is the KING of the
gouge when it comes to CPE hardware.
CPE being Customer Provided
Equipment.
Here, at STReport, we appreciate your
input relative to your horror stories with
the telephone companies and now we would like
to add Cisco and the other router companies
to that list. Let us hear what you have
to say.... good or whatever.
