Why are Internet Providers Charging Double for Business Internet?

Hi, I live in NYC. I wanna get internet for my business. Verzion charges 249 a month for 1gig, but when I checked personal the same 1gig was only 89 a month I saw the same thing with optimum, business is 164 a month and personal is 80. Why is this the case, and can I use a personal account instead of a business account (and pay with my business cc)?

How do friends react to your business talk?

Yeahh! I hit 83k (pre tax) in 3 quarters. Last years total gross profit was 81k (pre tax). I'm so psyched! ​ Whenever I share this or similar happiness with friends, I don't get a lot of reaction. It feel like most people who are not freelancer/small business owner just don't care or just don't get it? I can talk passionate about a job I took, a good contract signed or a nice commission deal. To me it feels like I grow as a person. But it's kinda dull I can't share the happiness. How are your friends reacting to your business successes / failures?

Repairs didn't last two months. Should I pay?

I own a small laundromat and recently three dryers broke at the same time. Paid $650 to get three drum bearings replaced. $500 of that was for four hours of labor. All three dryers broke again (same issue) not two months later. The same repair man is coming again today to look again. He's the only one in the entire area. I think he owes me this repair, it seems like he didn't do it right the last time, and it will cost a lot of work that needs to be done over again. This guy knows his stuff, he's been doing it for 30 years. I'm concerned that he doesn't do very thorough work though. He only ever seems to do break-fix and never maintains anything or diagnose any multi-part issues. He doesn't generate maintenance logs or parts receipts. Am I getting low-grade scammed by this guy? I almost don't want to pay him any more money for this.

Business declared package value incorrectly and DHL lost my package. Can the business change the value of the package afterwards?

Didn’t want to ask DHL directly as I don’t want to get the company in any trouble. I placed an order with a small luxury brand worth $1,700. The package was shipped with signature confirmation but DHL released the package at my residence while I was at work, without having me sign for it and it was subsequently stolen. DHL assured me that the company is in their right to file a claim for improper delivery. When I asked however, they told me the declared value was $300. The company is based in Asia and I imagine they declared it a lesser value to avoid custom fees. Do businesses have the ability to change the declared value of a package once it’s shipped? Ultimately they shouldn’t have done that but I’d hate for them to have to refund me $1,400 out of pocket.
