Re: Broadband Growth Continues To Slow said by BF69:Well let's see "a larger culprit is the fact that people in areas where broadband is offered have already signed up for service" So maybe at&t should try to bring broadband to areas that don't curently have it, but DO have at&t phone service. At least 95% of my county is served by at&t maybe 1/3 have access to their DSL. So there's a boatload of potential customers waiting to give at&t thier money. At&t must hate money. I know what you mean!
I have their POTS, since of course anywhere you live there's only one choice for POTS.
But, since I don't have their DSL, I'm obviously not paying them for that. If I could get it, I'd sign up very quickly. Right now, I'm using Charter because I have to, not because I want to. |

| Growth slowing down? Gee, I guess expanding to what i'm gonna call not so quite rural areas is outta the question? I feel no pitty for people that refuse to provide service to those that would appreciate it but are continued to be ignored.

While that may relive them from having subsidize broadband build out, but they fail to understand they extra taxes that would be need for increased infrustructure to support the massive increase in population.
Not to mention if people in the boonies moved to the city and all got broadband then more than likely those city dwellers internet speed would be reduced because of the increaed number of people all using the same pipe. |
