Re: All ISPS Marginal
UH.....read the article.
First, Verizon is installing Fiber to the home and offering AMAZINGLY cheap bandwidth prices, thats why they win.
Second, link a major ISP website in these other countries that have 1/5 the cost and 50 times the bandwidth. In Europe connections are much more expensive and in most cases slower. Asia, save Korea, has much more expensive pricing if HSIA is avaiable at all, Africa???, so send me the links and I'll STFU.
Third, most DSL providers DO NOT have caps.
Fourth, the only fiber based muni project, UTOPIA, has caps on their services too. If you think the government entities are going to be an open access free for all you are sadly mistaken and have learned nothing from history.
I am not telco or cable fanboy, actually I compete against them everyday because I didnt think they always offered what consumers wanted. But until you educate yourself on how much it costs and what goes into providing the services you think are owed to you then stop posting uninformed rants with no evidence to back up your claims. In the meantime try to purchase a business class connection and you wont have to worry about caps...oh let me guess you are not willing to pay what it costs to get what you want so we should all pay more for heavy users like you!? | |

| Truch,
Another troll. First off, Utopia has NO CAPS on certain isps. I know someone who has it. Second, there is also Paxio in California with no respective caps. Do you research before you speak, or assume the rest of us are dumb enough to take you at face value? | |

If you think the government entities are going to be an open access free for all you are sadly mistaken and have learned nothing from history. UTOPIA (acronym for Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency) is *NOT* an ISP, they are nothing more than the infrastructure/connection for wired services. XMISSION, AT&T, MSTAR, NUVONT, and VERACITY are the current ISP's you can sign up for if you subscribe to UTOPIA. Note that QWEST is not there (I understand that UTOPIA was originally going to be in the service end as well as the connectivity part, but QWEST bought a law that prohibited that?).
I guess you can say they cap, residential users only get 100 Mbps service while businesses get 1 Gbps. Only problem is, at this time I think the 100 Mbps is shared among the net, TV, telephone, radio, and what ever else is there. So if you only have internet service and the ISP allows it, the entire 100 Mbps can be internet (do not know if that is 100 Mbps total, or 100 in each direction).

Miami Beach, FL | I stand corrected. You are correct they just do transport, however some of the ISP's that provide service still have BW caps | |
