Transcript?

I can hardly hear what the survey questions are? At least at my work computer. Anybody have a transcript?

So whats the difference, if the DOJ has its way, they will have access to all online tracks/records of what youve done. Now, that will be no matter what ISP if it goes through.

Desperate

Cox and Bellsouth sure are desperate. now if they had some services that could compete they wouldn't be in such a shitty boat.

Re: Transcript?

Basically, the guy getting polled, is asked a series of questions on weather he thinks LUS should build a FTTH network. The pollster leads him to believe that there is already private business's building FTTH, which then causes the guy getting polled to argue about the question being asked.

It's really just a scare tactic, they just happen to poll someone who happens to have a little bit of insight about the plan for LUS to build FTTH.

Gonna be ugly no matter what

That situation is going to get very ugly over there. I sure don't see that LUS has a clear-cut win. From what I understand, they are not doing a good job of selling it.

This could be a wrong read on my part though.

Re: oh my god....

This guy who is the pollster is barely literate. That is what low-paying telemarketing companies hire now.

Very Scarry

These pollsters are doing nothing more than lying to the people they are calling and most of the people prob think that the truth lies in the questions.......

You would think that someone would try and get a cease and desist order as this is not a real survey but a political message with no truths.

I wish you guys luck...You have my vote but it don't count as I am in NC.....SCREW BELL SOUTH !


FiberNow

@tsged.com

You are 100% correct. In fact, that is the total intent of a poll such as this - to suggest, by extremely loaded (and false and/or ridiculous) questions, that the project is bad. They have no intent at all of actually collecting information or statistics with this.

I grew up in Lafayette, and LUS was a great electrical company to have, great rates (cheapest in the state) and had great repair services.
I am all for them to beat the crap out of cox/bellsouth.

If you're going to try to hijack a thread, at least pick the right one?
