New York, NY | BLAH - BLAH! Virtually the only complaints I hear about BB availability are in this site. I have only heard about two complaints about BB speed or availability in many years. One was when my sister switched from Adelphia to Verizon to save money (she could have switched back if she really wanted to). Another was a friend in New Mexico who was outside the city and she got satellite (while not wonderful she still got access).
We do need more competition, and it certainly seems to be in the pipeline. The market and some reasonable GOV/FCC actions(and some inaction?) will hopefully allow this in the end. |

those two examples are proof enough. are you not paying attention?
my brother is still on dial-up (maxed out at 21k on a 56k modem) because dsl, cable, wireless, and satellite are all not available. his house is surrounded by trees and he lives in a smaller town. |
