Saint Louis, MO | You ain't heard the yowling even begin yet If enough is made of this, you're gonna hear some screaming from the big boys. They'll keep quiet at the onset, but as soon as this becomes well known, the half truths and misinformation ads will fly. Unfortunately, I think the consumer will take the hit in the end because instead of fixing problems, they'll just downgrade expectations. Cable and Telcos operate on the sucker principal. They assume their customers know nothing and want to stay that way. Anyone ever get a notice from their ISP mentioning that their line speed isn't up to par and is being looked into? Anyone ever get a letter saying that their contract is up and can renew at a lower rate? It's easier and more profitable to grease only the squeaky wheel, pay fines to the FCC, advertise for new customers and take the loss on the ones you don't care to fix than concentrate on making sure your customers are getting what they paid for. Like SBC is gonna call me and say the config file on my modem is only half what I'm paying for......yeah right. Take the money and hope for the best.
