While Seattle is a big telecommunications city, and the Westin Building is pretty much the hub for all traffic in Northwest & beyond (Alaska, some links to Japan/N Asia), the actual broadband options available to people and businesses is pretty lame.

Qwest has their DSL, and Comcast has their powerboost. What else is there? All the other options are a bit unrealistic: Speakeasy WiMax which costs as much per mbit as telco T1, and oh I guess there's probably some Covad mixed in there somewhere... but overall from a consumer POV I don't think Seattle is anything special when it comes to broadband.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19798524 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 13:37:40 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19798445 codymc : haha -- that's exactly what I said about atlanta. And with Comcast's wonderful customer service -- you're lucky if you a)get what's advertised or b)even what you're paying for.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19798445 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 13:27:53 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19798197 SlickEnW : Lies. All Lies. Wired with What? Most amount of people with wiring in their homes? Can't be broadband connectivity. The fastest we've got in seattle is crapcastics deployment. We don't even have fiber yet :( ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19798197 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 12:52:10 EDT
