Re: Great Interview Karl
"I would _really_ like to see (if anyone could provide) the % of customers at each rate on cable, dsl, etc. How many customers are satisfied with their current rate (speed)? How many want to pay more for higher speed ?"
Great point! and one Mr Rick misses every time.
He sits there pontificating based on his views and the views of this site....but of course he has no clue what the most people want.
they want speed FASTER than dial up. most cant tell the difference. when that changes so will the industry...it aint there yet...no matter what he says.
Who do i think has a clue....Rick or the biggest ISP in the country!!!!!!
He can call me a Troll if he wants....but actually what he wants is to subdue competition.
Comcast Rick?

| Hob, about all I can add to this is that if that 50 cents a day difference that it all amounts to between having a 1.5Mb slowsky dsl connection..and a 20Mb HSI cable connection really matters all that much to you..
then truly..I'm sorry for your financial predicament.
But, the fact of the matter is..for many of us who don't have and certainly don't want a landline..that difference is even less. Or..perhaps even non existent.
It certainly is in my case, with all the savings I realize from voip.
I'm really not sure how or why all this escapes you.
Based on your own statements contained in a post or posts on this website, one could only assume that apparently you're an employee of a Cable ISP.
Is that how little you think of your own company and industry? Are you really this unable to differentiate between these offerings..and choose instead to make the competition the leader in your own mind?
If so, I sincerely hope that you will reconsider your own position..and perhaps even start applying for a position with AT&T.
It seems you would be happier with them.
Sad to say though, I 'm not sure they'll be hiring much longer. Losing as many landlines as they are..and offering nothing but slow connections overall isn't a good prognosis I fear for their future.
Let's hope I'm wrong..at least until you retire. |

I think you have me confused with someone else. I have not mentioned cost in any of my posts.
"Is that how little you think of your own company and industry? Are you really this unable to differentiate between these offerings..and choose instead to make the competition the leader in your own mind?"
I am not making anyone the leader...not sure how you deduced that. I welcome competition in the market place. Competition benefits customers and I am a customer. You are telling the world that a service sucks because its not as fast as your connection. I am saying that in the market place, speed is not as important as other things AT THIS TIME. Quality service, home grown support, the ability to bundle and convenience are all more important to the average customer.
Speed is not the first thing in peoples mind....for the average customer. As I said before...as long as its faster than Dial up...and good value people will come.

| My posts re: uverse and AT&T encompass a wide range of issues I have with them. Certainly not just speed..although it is one factor I address.
Those factors include overall value of dsl versus cable hsi..
their marketing schemes..
this being their next generation service..
their use of public access ways to install vrads..
their tearing up roads to deliver questionable service that many already have access to.
My points are all very well thought out and relevant.
Really Hob..you and others should just move on from the bashing, misquoting and misinterpretation of my posts and into something more constructive.

including speed as that has been your main focus in this thread.
I understand now.
Sorry.

unfortunately..you rarely stop there and instead choose to take everything into something of a personal nature.

I believe there is a very fine moderator group on this site who will respond and remove offending posts if you flag them.
When you challenge the Biggest ISP in the country in public you have to expect that people will challenge you. People are interested whether you have extensive experience in marketing and supporting High speed products and Video services or whether you are sitting in your parents basement typing.
These are not personal attacks, its a follow up discussion.

You're real late to that party my friend. I've been challenged about it for a year before you arrived on the scene to join in the fray.
And, let me get this straight. People are interested in whether I have extensive experience in marketing and supporting high speed products in order for me to express an opinion?
Again..I think you have it all wrong..and are continually in violation of this sites terms in challenging ME on THAT issue.
If you would care to challenge me on the CONTENT of my posts ie: point out where you DISAGREE with the point itself and can point to a better argument..that is one thing.
But to challenge ME on MY personal knowledge is flat out wrong..and again. Against the site terms.
