Jaimee thought that this was strange, so she asked him what he was paying. Turns out, he was paying <B>$70</B> a month. That was $70, for JUST his DSL. When Jaimee told him that this was ridiculous, he said that he didn't think that he could get it for less, because they were giving him the "Senior Discount". Talk about preying on the ignorance of the group most likely to be hoodwinked by underhanded sales tactics.
