 cbrigante2Cubs 20??Premium join:2002-11-22 North Aurora, IL | batavia While I can sympathise with all of the other burb replies of service in more populated areas like Chicago and Mount Prospect, I believe the only reason it is being promised to a city like Batavia is that it is working on some real competition for the customers. SBC is scared to death that this might actually work and give everyone a choice. I don't see an existing consumer need for those types of speed with current uses of DSL, but this project is intended to have TV, phone, and internet services as part of the package. I think you could gobble up a good portion of that bandwidth with all of those services running. Again, this decision is not based on how many paying customers they might get (which is the normal claim from SBC) but on the chance of the city voting this project into reality. |
