Free Television when you sign up for a year of the "bundled" Dish, DSL and Telephone service.


:) thats a crazy bundle, but it could happen. Some providers *comcast* make you take useless services to get broadband. And Comcast is not alone it that. If you dont have access to Naked DSL you are stuck with paying extra for stuff you dont need or dial-up. Damn I forgot I have to pay for teh phone line if I get Dial-up.... we go round and round. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10711905 Wed, 07 Jul 2004 14:33:07 EDT An attempt to beat competition? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10710127 keyboard5684 : This actually has a couple fronts.
1. The more 802.11 access points that are deployed the more interference that is caused in the 2.4ghz bands, often a band wireless internet service providers use.

2. Cable has yet to give away routers, most just "loan" the modem out.

3. Small providers cannot do this. The whole "line sharing" effect means that the small guys are already paying the telco for the line. Then the telco offers service for less than the guys who are using the line plus throw in extras. No doubt also an effort to get rid of those pesky little guys sharing there lines (by law).
