Ah, I see.

Most people I've met see only the price tag. Yes it's nice to have a 
better product, but look at the price tag...

I think I mentioned at some point the horrifyingly low levels of 
customer service that most companies provide. Most people wouldn't 
switch to another provider to get better service, only to get a lower 
price. Three guesses where that lower price comes from.

Personally, I'm one of those people who doesn't mind paying more money 
if I actually get a better product. Then again, I shop at John Lewis, so 
apparently I'm crazy.
