Where's my symetrical 45mbps?

I don't know if everyone has forgotten, but the telcos were given $200,000,000,000 in order to deploy 45Mbps connections to a good chunk of the country by 2006. The whole FTTP/FTTH/FTTN, has been pretty half-assed in respect to this.

So, this is why I get really pissed off when a big broadband provider goes on and on about how they are being innovative and "upgrading" their customers, and then charging us more and more for these speeds. Technically we've already paid for it, and haven't gotten it! Why does this country let big corporations get away with this, and then suck the life out of it's citizens?

Not challenging you.. but, do you have any links to information that speaks of this?

If this is in fact true, then maybe it's time to launch law suits?

They all link back to the book $200 Billion Broadband Scandal.
