Capitol Hill).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20557294 Thu, 29 May 2008 11:25:24 EDT Re: Curious http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20557217 axus : DC is pretty well split between its 4 corners: SE NE NW SW. It's more of an east/west dichotomy but that's the general outline. Southeast DC is very poor, lots of crime, and a general crappy place to be. Northeast/middle is more middle class, and has sporadic availability of services. Parts of northeast approach southeast, though. Central and West are expensive and rich. No FiOS though, even though the Verizon Center is close to all that!

So, the poor and under-served go with dialup. The rich will get the most expensive option available. All that money spent on lobbyists has to go somewhere!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20557217 Thu, 29 May 2008 11:09:26 EDT Re: Curious http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20557200 tenpin784 :

How is the District of Columbia in both lists?
Cause it can have both 27% faster then 5mb, yet 17% slower then 256K.

Thats only 44% of the population, which falls between 256k and 5mb (if they have interwebs)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20557200 Thu, 29 May 2008 11:06:33 EDT Curious http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20557130 jbgroup1 : How is the District of Columbia in both lists?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20557130 Thu, 29 May 2008 10:56:59 EDT
