Gas stations:

  • tell me the actual price up front
  • can provide enough product for local traffic
  • have a real person available to help, standing right there
  • give me the opportunity to shop around on price, brand preference, favorite color plug things.

My ISP:

  • 10ish mbps when we feel like it
  • itll probablly be less than $100, probably
  • take it or leave it bub, or gtfo

Don't forget the random charges for a few bucks that they stick on all the time banking on people not bothering to call and bitch about it because an hour on the phone isn't worth it for ~$5.
