6M might have been "elite" in 1999 but its standard fare these days. C'mon A T & T, open up the fiber pipe somewhat

What's wrong with calling a 6/1 plan elite? As far as I know, here in Austin the only other option is Roadrunner, and their 7/512 package is $30 bundle with cable, and their 10/1 option is $40 bundled with cable. So for $30 I'd rather get dedicated 6/1 line, than a shared 7/512 line.

They market it like it's blazing fast, and well, it's not. Cable co's have been doing 5/2 service for a while now and nobody calls that elite. I suppose they are just fishing for people that don't know any better but to call something elite means it's the absolute best of everything (or damn close).

Given how many people here at DSLR gripe about the US being so low on the totem pole I'm actually shocked to see some positive defense for my comment. The marketing gets old though and they should just stick with good, better and best. At least that would resemble what it is.

If we let it go and compare things, then I guess I can call my 30/5 FiOS GODLIKE! Maybe Verizon should update their marketing.
