Sugar Grove, VA | Weird. Since when does playing online games tax a broadband connection? The amount of data passed is very very small.. | |
| | | Marketing BS is at failt The problem is they never had the backbone network to supply bandwidth to all the customer at full speed at one time. Not even half or a quarter of the bandwidth. Kind of like the telephone network, if we all try to call at one time it wont work.
So I think the real problem is how they have marketed to service. It may be always on and really fast but you can't think for a second that they have the backbone network to handle it. If you add up all the cable and DSL connections with the speeds they have, you would see that the backbone networks would have to be thousands of times faster to handle all the people on at one time with all the p2p and video streaming. | |

Bloomington, IN |  Must have happened already???
I see the following:
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.attglobal.net.
I guess 2010 came early?
My earlier post regarding my fantastic 24K AT@T connection has mysteriously disappeared, so I'm about ready to go buy a tin foil hat.... | |

San Francisco, CA |  AT&TÃ130;® and the ON-GOING WHIMPERING whilst
 2010 is COMING!" Yes, it is, so what? WHAT A GREAT TIME TO TAKE A HINT AND GET GOING ON WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS "System-wide Upgrade"! Hell! go just about ANYWHERE in Europe these days. Actually, Even parts of CHINA, have wwway faster connection/throughput than the U.S. has in spite of ALL THE "choices" of providers ISP/VOIP, etc. Craziest part about it is, NOT ONLY are there a SIGNIFICANT number of cities/countries around the globe offering MORE (connection speed/throughput if nothing else) regarding broadband altogether, it is ANYTHING but "NEW"! What I mean by "NEW" is while it hasn't been years quite yet, at the same time it isn't like this just happened yesterday either! We pay PLENTY to the BIGGEST companies eg:: AT&T®, Comcast⦡mp;#132;?, etc. whom, without fail CRY LIKE A BABY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO DO WHAT ANYONE IN BUSINESS PERIOD HAS TO DO...Put money back into the business. Hell! Outsourcing is enough of a burden to those people known as customers. Customers, those people that pay for these things, LOL! So why not get it together and MAYBE WE WON'T REALLY HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE STONE AGE WHICH IS WHERE WE ARE HEADING SO FAST THAT WITH A ¼ of the EFFORT, JUST THINK OF THE WONDERS OF AN ALREADY 9-TRILLION DOLLAR DEPT CEILING...Think about it folks, PLEASE! | |

Maud, OK | Broadband capacities Was it not so long ago, when broadband providers were lamenting all of the dark fiber from the dot com boom/bust that was just laying in the ground, and that the excess capacity could not be used up for decades? Or is this another Bill Gates 640k statement? | |
| | | ............ i guess when al gore "invented the internet" he didnt think that it wouldnt be where its at today | |
