Re: Oh, but I thought it would never happen?

Thats what I asked you ! Do you benefit from any company in Richmond ? Really man I am across the damn country I don't know your landscape.

Thats why I gave you the link.

You got lucky , maybe they felt bad for abusing the bay area for so long and gave you guys a decent upgrade.

Need to work on your posting skills.
I know whats here, didn't need your link!
I tried to tell you, but you didn't listen.

Nearest fiber providers are Paxio(new home developments only) and SureWest(Sacramento area)

There is no fiber here other than what Comcast laid 3 1/2 years ago.

I have Blast.
There is no competition for Comcast 8mbps service, yet they hit me(and a few other cities here in the Bay Area) with 16mbps.

Maybe they will hit you soon.
Since you are in MA, maybe you should stop posting like you know what's up here! Right?

Ok so comcast gives you a bubble gum shaped pocket of speed and they are great. One or 2 areas define a whole business map.

I know comcast and I know how they are , they only do this where they feel the need to compete. So there has to be a reason , maybe your blessed enough to be a test market.

No, major parts of the Bay Area are getting Blast.
The rest will be getting it soon as well.

Pretty big piece of gum, huh?

While AT&T may be in a few places here in The Bay Area, it is *NOT* here in Hercules. Period!

Lose the Comcast hate... it's sad.

Are you really that bad dude ? Comcast foot print is half the country , they give a small patch on the map top speeds and they are the bench mark ?

You are the exception get over yourself , you try and prove it wrong , but many here in comcast territories don't have a chance for it. You are the minority. Now your just trying to fight it out for no other reason then trying to feel your right.

reply to dadkins
surewest is 30GB/mo
unsure about paxio.

reply to dadkins
Blast tier in Arkansas....Comcast is only in Little Rock. My hometown which is near Little Rock and has a larger pop. than Hilo has an small independent cable company and their speed offerings are pitiful. Almost the entire state is like that so it is misleading to post that when it only a small portion of the pop of the state can get any broadband and of those who can just one area can get a major provider (Comcast).

Comcast sucks much worse than Time Warner. You go to their website and it appears that they offer service in all these towns but they don't. They are the most deceptive of all the broadband providers.
