At CNET, we extensively cover different ways to lower your internet bill. But one major factor that is often overlooked is how you can protect yourself from internet pricing traps. According to a CNET survey, over 63% of adults in the US saw their internet prices increase last year. Even worse, more than half of those who complained about their bill increasing still experienced unreliable internet. Why and how does this happen?

Delta Air Lines is using AI to set the maximum price you’re willing to pay

theverge.com Jess Weatherbed 2025-07-18 20:50:57

Delta Air Lines is leaning into dynamic ticket pricing that uses artificial intelligence to individually determine the highest fee you’d willingly pay for flights, according to comments Fortune spotted in the company’s latest earnings call. Following a limited test of the technology last year, Delta is planning to shift away from static ticket prices entirely after seeing “amazingly favorable” results. “We will have a price that’s available on that flight, on that time, to you, the individual,”

Fresh off a victory lap after a better-than-expected earnings report, Delta Air Lines is leaning into AI as a way to boost its profit margins further by maximizing what individual passengers pay for fares. By the end of the year, Delta plans for 20% of its ticket prices to be individually determined using AI, president Glen Hauenstein told investors last week. Currently, about 3% of the airline’s flight prices are AI-determined, triple the portion from nine months ago. Over time, the goal is t

Will AI end cheap flights? Critics attack Delta’s “predatory” AI pricing.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-20 14:01:26

Delta has become the first airline to announce that it is using AI to boost profits by personalizing pricing through a pilot program that for months has caused customers to pay different prices for the same flights based on their data profile. Critics have warned that this use of AI goes beyond airline practices that charge people who book flights ahead less than people who book flights at the last minute—and could ultimately mean the end of cheap flights across the board if other airlines foll

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-07-21 06:40:29

Last year, Delta Air Lines announced it was testing out dynamic pricing on some flights using tools built by the tech company Fetcherr. And while the test was initially limited, executives from the company announced that 3% of flights now use AI pricing, and they hope to sell 20% of all tickets using a dynamic price by the end of the year. Edward H. Bastian, the CEO of Delta, explained the strategy on an investors call last week, noting that it was “optimizing revenue through [its] partnership

news.ycombinator.com Simon Goodley 2025-08-26 10:11:15
