Keller, TX | You know... I'll say it again.
You guys still look at things like 99% of the US population is exactly they same as us. But it's the opposite. For 99% of the US population a 1.5Mb/s DSL line would be far MORE broadband than they need or would ever use and Uverse as it exists right now is more than 99% of the population would want to have.
Hell, my mother and grandparents are still on old fashion air TV and the could care less about cable type TV service. I can only guess that less than 5% of the adult population would care about getting even one HD stream.
What AT&T is doing is probably much smarter on the business end than FIOS. They can build out quickly and cheaply and then slowly upgrade to fiber-to-the-curb for everyone. |

| Yep, plenty of us don't need 6 or even 3 meg.
I moved down from 6 meg cable to 768KB DSL because I'm cheap!
$45/month versus $10/month (price fixed through 12/2009)
I can even use Unbox, as long as I let the movies download overnight.
And here at least anything running on phone lines has significantly better uptime than cable (underground vs. aerial?)
I'm moving everyone I can from cable or dialup to $10 DSL. |
