Blake 002 and all:
I sent an e mail to one of the techs who posts here and got a prompt,polite reply.
He said that DSL is not available to me but when it is,I would be the first to know. I believe him.
My concern is that they have,IN EFFECT,a public utility monopoly for land lines in my area. Their old copper lines are vestiges of when they were Centel. They seem to treat their update schedule as proprietary.
That is bad enough but worse,because of their out of date equipment,no other provider can offer DSL over their lines.
Deployment of the best,most modern fixed capitals is the most productive use. Instead of fixing their antiquated,worn out stuff,they have chosen to increase their dividend and buy back their common stock. That seems short sighted to me.
I am sorely tempted to buy one share of stock,go to their annual meeting,and ask them their update schedule.
Good luck. |

Good luck. excellent idea; if you do, perhaps you could also put a bug in a few people's ears about several "dry areas" that are often mentioned on this forums. :P -- "True Patriotism is more closely linked with dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security...I accept the definition of patriotism as that effort to resist abusive state power." -Ron Paul |
