Re: Cobalt Broadband

I had to laugh at the post by LeanderDan, because he obvioulsy knows absolutely nothing about networking or standards. DSL stands for digital subscriber loop. It is a standard. Data goes in and goes out thus making a loop. Guess what? It can run on copper wires, it can run on glass (fiber), and it can run through the air. It doesn't matter what medium it goes through, though typically it does run on copper. If it is digital (0's and 1s) and data runs back and forth to your location it doesn't matter how it gets there, but it is DSL. Wireless ISP is not even in the same universe of telco analogies since ISP stands for Internet Service Provider, and that means they connect to one or more Internet backbones. But it does not mean DSL. My lord.

Bear creek,
Thanks for your info. I restarted this post because I have been in touch with Cobalt about bring internet service to Chambers Co. (about 20mi east of Houston) After contacting several companies. Cobalt is the only one interested in talking to me. I have talked to Eric a couple of time and have not had any trouble getting him to call me back when I had a question about the company. Of course my system is not down and I don't have technical issues,,,,yet. Anyway just looking for info, Good and Bad.
Thanks
