| Speaks for Itself This article speaks for itself. Every time I call BellSouth I give their employees a mouthful for no less than 15min just for the hell of it.
You should hear some of them trying to defend their company. Damn I wish I had employees like that! |

Don't forget that BellSouth had it's Louisiana President say with a straight face that it is not Technically possible to provide a DSL signal without POTS voice service. |

1 edit | Fiber is an unproven technology that's not economically viable.
20 megabits... This guy is an idiot.
My home LAN is up to 50 times faster then that!
Indy car, eh? Forget Turtle vs Rabbit. How about SNAIL vs Rabbit.
Sheesh. That guy should get a clue. "They don't need it. They don't want it. They won't use it." There's your forward thinking Telco goon. |

3 edits | That guy is full of BS- fiber has been around (in the form that we recognize) since the early 70s, and has been the standard in the telecom industry since the early 80s. What does he think the backbone of the internet is built on? How about most of the major telecoms' networks? I'd hardly call that unproven, quite the opposite.
Fiber is a great investment right now, the only thing I see outdoing fiber, would be a network based on those funky quantum entanglment experiments they've been doing, and frankly that tech is so new and our understanding of it so poor I don't see that happening for 15 years minimum.
I love his quote "99% of the people can live with the tiers we offer"... OF COURSE THEY CAN LIVE... they can live without a car and without a computer and without a lot of things, but that's not progress. They might not use the bandwidth simply because they don't know what they can do with it. Hell, half of my clients don't know what they can do with their current bandwidth, but I teach them and they start using it and saying things like "wow, there are a lot of possibilities here!" ... I hear this argument all the time from the telecoms. If there wasn't a need/desire why do these municipal projects get started and why do they have so much support? |
