| The reality is, you can build this kind of network with low paying services. Just not going to happen in a, first of all the ISPs offer more than they can actually deliver consistantly. The rates they sell (marketing)you on are the best possible, while still trying to be fair to other customers (your neighbors). With that said, "I think we will never have a problem with the bandwidth available in the GREAT USA, but instead have problems with PRICE." We need "COMPETITION" (like I have said MANY times before), some good kick ass competition. That will be the issue, for example, say Time Warner decides to limit use (cap). There needs to be another ISP that can have there "own network" that competes with the incumbents. Having your own network is key to competing with the cable co's and Telco. On a personal note, I would like to see some of the backbone operators (like level3) get into the residential ISP business. Even tho I dont blame them for staying FAR away. |
