| at least the cables are there at least the cables are there for future expansion. They need to give 1gigabit service for $60/mo to EVERYONE in ATT land though, and then offer their crappy 3 megabits for $20/mo or something. They are not doing anything special as far as the internet, sounds like they have a community dish over fiber (yeah!! someone parks in front of the dish or crashes into it and 2500 homes have no TV friday night!!!). The internet speeds are dreadful. I could get 8mbps/768kbps over Comcast cable for another $10/mo, and 6mbps/708kbps over ATT DSL. HDTV IPTV is the answer. I think the reason they don't want to give good net speed, it that someone else (the VONAGE of TV) could use thier lines to give great HDTV and VOD witout paying for the miles of fiber as much as ATT would want. Also, movies on demand and other content could be delivered, or even better VOIP that ATT wants to make $$$ on could be delivered by someone else. I think that the incumbents should just beocome fiber net providers and just another TV or internet provider, and price accordingly, with phone at $15-$20/mo, and tv at $25-$35/mo for 200 channels, and then have the internet be $60-$100/mo for a 100mbit plus SYMMETRICAL line. |
