Re: doesn't matter
said by dnoyeB  :Not really. Competition can keep companies from getting away with this too much. And when they start into anti-trust behaviors there are the attourneys general. And the ACLU. Maybe they get there, maybe they don't. I have no intention on making that easy for them. I would leave comcast myself if I had a choice... Your last sentence is telling and all too common. We won't see competition any time soon. I have a choice of 4 providers; Road Runner, North State Communication (local ILEC), Clearwire, and some EVDO flavor. The only desirable option is who I chose, North State. The rest either have terrible latency or low speeds. And I'm likely one of the lucky folks with more than 1 or 2 choices available to them. |

| said by insomniac84 :I just hope your not serious about listing wireless as competition against wired broadband. I am. For some people, it's perfectly acceptable. I actually have to tell a lot of the sales guys I support to turn it off when they hard-wire in, otherwise they have no idea they are still using their EVDO connections.
I have EVDO through work and while it can range from worse than dial-up to not too bad, I cringe when I have to use it. |

Schererville, IN | I am sorry, but wireless is not a replacement for everything. And until it is, it is not valid to be counted as such. |
