Internet for life?

A Lawrenceville GA Resident recently won Charter high-speed internet for life.

The winning bid was 71,500.00. I think they paid too much.

The bidder won the highest charter-high speed service in Market for life along with a gatewary modem and free installation.

For this to be a remotely fair price they would have to live about 140 years.

  1. I wonder why they wouldn't put $71,450 into investments and pay for their Internet monthly...the investing would MORE than cover the monthly fee for internet and then some...? Why do some people have money and I don't...I don't get it...I must be missing something here! Is there a link to the story?
