| Hey Karl...others...
This may be off-topic but, I'd like to see some investigative reporting of the disparity between business broadband and the consumer, the regions and the dysfunctionalities of the contracts and communications companies.
For example, I once contacted Comcast to get their Business internet package. Our building is located in an industrial park (not a AAA-space business park but still has clients like Freightliner, Staples, ...) and unless we pay the tab for them to run broadband trunk from another road, we have to use the telco's options (which is also pretty steep). Oddly, we have fiber running into our building POE (dimark). Our only option are the resellers (Cavalier, XO...).
It kills me that my home internet is 3-10x faster than my work connection, and 30x cheaper. (yes, we can debate QOS, facility for server traffic, routers...but I see such a discrimination on region)
Just curious...keep up the great work! | |

| cableties, Karl is too busy dreaming up slanted, corporate-hating articles to do something as noble as that.
To answer your industrial park question: umm, well, that is the cost of doing business. Sure, if a huge company that gives them a few million dollars a year in business moves in, they may discount the connection charges (or the stupid city would have it built in for the tax breaks).
BBR would have far more people actually view this place if they did more honest reporting (never seen a newspaper use some blog news as a source). The only reason I stick around is to make fun of a lot of obviously stupid people that think illegal is a-okay as long as the Net can do it.
