| Mixed bag for me It's good to see that Tulsa is on the list..maybe I'll be able to get better than 3Mbps DSL. I'd still rather have the 9Mbps cable, but it's not available here thanks to at&t's exclusive deal with the complex.
On the downside, my apartment complex there gets TV from SBCHE, which in that case is a DirecTV reseller. I very much enjoy the use of my DirecTiVo with it. It seems likely that when U-Verse is available here, SBCHE (and therefore DirecTV) will go away, meaning no more DTiVo, since I don't have a view of 101W from my apartment. 
Also, I somehow doubt at&t is selling cablecards, so no series 3 TiVo, either. |
| go to www.att.com/uverse to see what some of the current prices are in some areas. You can either select a package or create your own. The pre-built packages include high speed internet. FYI... For being in the cable and telephony engineering business, the fiber bandwidth from the RT/vrad is large enough that it wont effect the bandwidth if numerous individuals are on it. Plus the telephony network only shares the bandwidth on the fiber and it's completely separate on the copper, which isn't the case for cable. Plus you will find the quantity of fiber in a telephony network is much larger then cables since telephony networks offer much broader services (business products such as sonnet rings) which require a larger penetration of fiber optics. The vrads might be ugly but I'm all for competition.... It's about time. |
