Re: Poorer areas not getting U-verse is a problem? IT isnt just about "poor people" I live in a very nice apartment complex in Indianapolis Indiana, make a great living and, like many of my neighbors, can easily afford cable, but I dropped comcast a month after they hooked it up for lots of reasons that are not relivent here, in addition th the BigTen net fiasco...
I read on a site like this in Sept. that the complex across the street, same kind of buildings, just had a fancy fountain out front and a $300/Mo bigger price tag could get Uverse and I, 200 feet from the fiber, could not because att had determined that our complex wasnt worthy...well, 100 calls to various levels of ATT people later, I get it installed soon.
There really needs to be an investigation about this, there is nothing wrong with maximizing ROI, but they are getting public funds for these build-outs, so crap like this is simply not acceptable. |
