| This could be easily summed up with a public poll with one question, "Would you switch ISP if you had a better option?" My thought is somewhere around 98% would say yes, if not 99 and some points. |

| What does this not apply to? Would you have picked a different option if you had a better option? |

| ▲ | rogerrogerr 2 days ago | parent [-] | | That’s not the question, though - it’s would they switch. Switching has significant friction, at least in people’s minds. You probably wouldn’t switch from ISP1 at $30/mo to ISP2 at $29.95/mo (with the same service) unless you’re irritated with ISP1 for other reasons. You might have chosen ISP2 if you were starting from scratch, though. | | |

| ▲ | rogerrogerr 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Better enough to overcome the switching cost. | | |
| ▲ | latexr a day ago | parent [-] | | So you agree the question is meaningless. If “better” means “better enough to overcome the switching cost”, then the answer to “would you switch ISP if you had a better option?” would by definition always be yes. |
