Re: IMHO: BS

Well said. But if your town built a government owned and operated gas station and offered gas for $2.50/gallon I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated and you would be out of your mind to not fill up there.

Would you want to pay for a local service and see some of the money go back into the community, such as roads, schools and things of that nature or would you rather pay more money for a slower service and kiss your cash goodbye?

Re: IMHO: BS

I just love to sit back and read comments made by people who are on the "outside" of any fiber project. Right now it's about 80% for and 20% against. Those against are either in some way close to the incumbent or just flat out negative about everything. It makes business sense from the incumbent to fight any competition. On the other hand if they had preformed like they should have in the past then these projects wouldn't be going on right now. These cable companies and telcos have operated a "cash cow" long enough. It's true that some have made improvements as far as technology is concerned, but still lack in customer service and price. They all have the option of building a fiber network but have opted not to do so. They still insist on "coax". Any fiber project being built has to offer the same channels on their lineup as the incumbent and more or the people wont subscribe to it. The internet has to be faster and the phone works better and cheaper.
