Much like subject, your babble has become "Boring"!! "No one reads you posts clearly", "you didn't make such bold statements"....blah, blah, blah. Obviously, you are a misunderstood individual that should play in a sandboa with other waterheads. |

Rain you obviously didn't read my post clearly. So you now your post got defensive and uptight, as a reuslt. First, I said we have cities where there are more dense populations than countries currently offering fiber. Where in my post did I say we MUST wire backwater Alaska or Rural America with fiber? A matter of fact, I made the statement towards big cities. If Embark is a small rural ISP, I stand corrected. It's a good jump. However, in terms of it still being newsworthy, it isn't. I am glad rural America is seeing fiber. Fiber does a lot to modernize a community. It entices businesses, which spur jobs and economic growth. My point here is if this country would invest in such an infrastructure, maybe it would change some stuff for the better. Sadly, this recycled news (be it good news for rural America) still doesn't add anything "technology revolutionary" to the game. |

Because a company like Embarq can't afford to fiber all of BFE? To you this seems like nothing of importance... to a person who lives in a town where your stop signs have clearly been fired at with a shotgun by a drunk redneck riding in the back of a truck 10 meg HSI is big news.
You seem to think that a company can just pull a thousand miles of fiber out of some sort of black hole and then have oompa loompas go run it free of charge. People in BFE are overjoyed to get some form of HSI, especially a 10 meg connection. I've got plenty of family member who would love to see something faster than 56k.
Getting a decent speed connection to everyone is far more important than having FIOS in a few big cities. Hooray for Bob the porn surfer who can download even more porn with a 100mbit connection. Our country would be better off if everyone was wired up with a decent speed. Wiring the entire country with fiber just won't happen. America has too many rural areas. |

I don't think I made such a bold statement, I spoke for everyone. Do you see anywhere in my writing where I said EVERYONE must feel this way? I don't see any such wording. The only broad wording is we the people of America who would like to see more speed. Hence, that's my personal opinion, notwithstanding. More or less, "the customers" and people of this same mindset wish for services they can brag about. IE. Stop offering the same ordinary stuff and pretending like it's big news. As I said, I am glad some areas are getting a minor speed boost. I recognize many areas are undeserved and any bit of fiber is better than none. Still wouldn't it be more worth the effort of these companies to bring out a service worth really bragging about? How about full duplex lines or fios like speeds to spar some competition. Maybe it's me but it just seems most companies are content with tossing a bone, but slowing wheeling it back in. IE enough to give the facade they care about future technologies, but not too much to actually mean it. |
