| Poster above me is an "IDIOT" Anti Business? Wait... so as a CONSUMER who has very few choices, we should sit down, pay the bill, and accept what we get? Seriously? Ok buddy, if you buy a car that's a Lemon DON'T complain. Once again, it's anti business that you complain. Should you win, that business will lose money fixing or replacing your car. Better yet, if you buy a product and it's under warranty, DO NOT USE the warranty. Warranties are ANTI BUSINESS. Comapanies lose money on sales when items are exchanged. If you want to be a top notch consumer.. REBUY the product.... Now you see how stupid your comment seems?
So call me a bit picky, but we're one of those countries PAYING the most for our internet. Hell, half of europe has 10mbit+..... Sure their government subsidizes it but let me ask you.. How does my tax dollars going to build a bridge that costs 300 million in ALaska or the 10s of billion in pork barrel spending not fall under the same guise? I'd rather MY TAX DOLLARS were used wisely to once help companies build a better infrastructure and give me incentive to do so. We pay taxes. We pay these guys A LOT per month... My bill for 5mbit is 55 dollars a month. Give me a break that these companies can't afford to build out and expand....Karl Marx? NO. Reality from someone with a BRAIN? Yes | |
| I agree totally. We shouldn't even be arguing over this. In Japan they are paying less than $40 for 100 Mbps. Too many other countries to it faster and cheaper. Not only don't we have an broadband policy that supports infrastructure growth but if we do pay for high speeds there is no one making sure we get what we pay for. I don't expect it for free and I don't expect anyone to build it for free, but it do expect my government to start taking this issue seriously. It's as important to our economy as schools and roads and air traffic (though I would hope they'd do a better job on this than they've done on those).
