Wow, a phone company selling ...phone service... and data service... what a concept.
Cheers to them for doing what they do and not trying to funnel tv through a straw. |

| Actually Omega I believe he is referring to U-verse which thinks they will push 2 HD channels by ip using a straw. ATT also thinks that we will never need more than 6mbps internet speed. From the beta tests in this area with the Microsoft based software most people wanted to go back to normal cable.

| yeah, that's what I was meaning  just didn't feel like going through the trouble of explaining it.
Fiber's awesome. Wish more of it were more places!
...I just think TV from the phone company is like buying a car from a grocery store. Now, buying phone from cable is more like getting a free lunch from a car salesman... I still wouldn't really want phone from my cable co, even though it is a nifty idea - just like tv from a telco. ...Just making comparison's here, not trying to pick on either one so much as point out my opinions by means of analogy  |

Qwest is smart letting ATT & VZ explore their UVerse & FIOS before moving ahead. It also doesn't hurt its a moral rural provider. If they are not having line losses and such, sticking with what they know best is smart. They are also still getting over Nacchio's crooked dealings at the company too.
