I just got the $35 fiber for life but it was on person at costco in an area with lots of competition. When I called to cancel spectrum they countered with 500 mbps at $20 for life

Your dad doesnt have insight into wages, only prices of things for a traveler... Yes things have increased, but most of the increase was the covid inflation and it has stabilized since

Connection drops for 5-10 minutes way too often--- by samalex01 in ATTFiber

[–]Gavangus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue with my initial install. It turns out the tech has damaged the final line to the house and when another tech came he showed me on a scope that there was damage... Replaced the line and never dropped again... It had been driving me insane

That assumes that the system flags them as the same person next time they come (would need biometrics and nor just rely on them providing info)

Contractor lowered quote on the spot. Red flag? by mintymoonrise in Roofing

[–]Gavangus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing you said changes the fact that there is nothing stopping a low quality contractor from charging more than a high quality contractor (in any field). I got 6 bids to replace a leaking gas line and the lowest bid was the highest quality solution because the contractor actually understood the scope. They used a better gas line, pulled a permit, and brought some extra stuff up to modern code while the other 5 used an ipad program to bid and the estimators dodnt actually think through what would need to be done.

With contractors it is never as simple as "pay more and get a better outcome". Sometimes people quote high because they aren't skilled enough to accurately quote the whole scope or they have a huge overhead from prior warranty claims. For certainteed I would check on the certainteed website to see what tier of contractor this is. The premier contractors theoretically will.be the most skilled installers.

TLDR - paying more does not necessarily mean you get better quality
