That&#x27;s simply not true at all, if you&#x27;re paying the lowest, that means you value money over extra service and provided ample opportunities for competition in the market place and customers that want cheap service.  They&#x27;ll get what they want.<p>If there isn&#x27;t ample competition or near perfect legislation, it doesn&#x27;t matter what you pay, the service will eventually be held by a monopoly that can do almost whatever they damn well please.<p>You don&#x27;t fight monopolies by paying more money, because as long as that&#x27;s your only focus, the bar to entering the market will continue to rise until eventually you can&#x27;t afford the `good guy`.
