Re: No Likey?
While you do have a valid point, you are overexagerating the availability and feasability of the otehr options.
Sat is only an option if thats the only thing you can get.
While dial-up is available everywhere, even when it was in its heyday, some locations still had to dial long distance to the nearest ISP. Now that most of the smaller dial up firms have gone away, there arent as many local numbers as there used to be. I used to be able to find 20 numbers local, last time I looked a few years ago, there were only 3.
So, even if it was free, some people would still get long distance charges. So not really a feasable option.
Just in case you are wondering, I have Comcast, the highest tier available in my area (6/768) and I am very pleased with it. Over the last 2 years, I've had less that 30 min of downtime. I have had some problems, but it was back when CC was upgrading so I kind of expected odd speeds and such. (My upload was 1.2m while my download was 800k). And everytime I go to the CC office or have to call them, I always get the friendliest people, so theres no customer service problems in this area.
Oh and I have a choice of 2 other providers as well. Att/Bellsouth DSL and Knology cable. |
