Re: Yay? said by rradina:I call B.S. on rural BB deployment. My parents live in a rural area with no DSL, no cable but they are livin' large with satellite TV and HSI. In fact they have two HSI choices. Both are fixed wireless and reasonably cheap. (One provider is $49/month for 3Mbps/1Mbps and the other is $39/month for 1Mbps/1Mbps). Most people's only chocie for "broadband" in the boonies is crappy satelite for $50 a month for 512Kbps no counting the $500 instalation fee. Also the 6-7 GB amonth caps. That's not a REAL choice.
People see broadband as a luxury. At one point electricity and phone service was considered a luxury. In fact that telephone tax that's been charged for 100+ years was originally a LUXURY tax on phone service because if you had a phone you were rich. That sounds crazy now. At one time having a toilet in your house meant you were rich. |

| My god, I don't care if my internet was crap as long as it stays connected and doesnt lag.
I cant stay connected for 5 MINUTES!
THIS SUCKS! Broadband isn't a need but for me internet that at least isn't total CRAP is a need. |

Chesterfield, MO | Couldn't have said it better. The only thing we haven't heard yet is that toilets are a RIGHT! Just ask Hillary. I'm sure she'll agree that those without a toilet are disadvantaged and that they should have a right to defecate like everyone else. If elected, she will ensure that everyone gets toilet vouchers funded by taxing the winners in life's lottery. |

| How about this. INstead of wasting tax dollars on actual BB
Lets get GOOD WIRELESS, low ping high download speed and good reliablility. Thats just as good as anything by my standards. Heck all I want is something with low ping and reliability. |
