4 More years and we won't have a country.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12915355 Tue, 15 Mar 2005 12:16:14 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12911520 cptmiles : If you think the phone companies are greedy just wait until the power companies start getting deeper in your pocket. There are a lot of industry people who think phone was deregulated as a precursor to deregulation of power (didn't work the way they hoped). No one and I mean no one is more money hungry and monopolistic than the power companies. Heck, I would be more interested if the phone company can figure out a way to provide power. I think we should start a forum on how we can get the evil money grubbing power companies out of our houses.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12911520 Mon, 14 Mar 2005 22:17:12 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12911466 koolman2 : You'd be surprised at how much more bearable the internet is at 256kbit than at 48kbps.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12911466 Mon, 14 Mar 2005 22:12:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12911214 NetEng_Dude : 300 kbit/s for $30??? That's absolutely nuts!

Not much faster than dial-up for DSL prices.

Most cable modem systems are at least 2 Mbit/s with many moving quickly to 3 or even 4 Mbits/sec for $30-40/month. Similar story for DSL.

Only 200 users???

Underwhelming to say the least.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12911214 Mon, 14 Mar 2005 21:47:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12911138 bjbrock : Let's see, 26,400 to 44,000(on a good day)bps for $20 versus 300,000bps for $30, sounds like a bargain!

Compared to some dsl packages, it may not be great. But when dsl ain't anywhere to be found... Plus don't expect dsl rates to stay low for long. They are eliminating all competition except cable, and they are working on that issue. Cable just happened to be a little bit too established when they started trying to eliminate that competition. But they have deep- pockets and more greedy politicians. Whoever can end up paying the most to the politicians will be the winner. And as a utility, phone companies basically have unlimited spending ceiling!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12911138 Mon, 14 Mar 2005 21:38:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12909788 ke4pym : No, overpriced is my parent's paying $41/mo for 256/128 cable modem service.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12909788 Mon, 14 Mar 2005 18:56:29 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12909501 JazzJRabbit : $30 plus whatever fees for 300 kilobit per second (or less than 30 kilobyte/second) down? Uhm... No. This is way overpriced.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12909501 Mon, 14 Mar 2005 18:23:54 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12909231 Viper007Bond : That's pretty sweet. Not the fastest, but those new packages look good.

What's the range and upload like? Or is this basically DSL over the powerline?
