| They'll use them until they're outed in the mass media Everyone knows that the reason Charter dropped NebuAD is because they got caught, and the story hit the mainstream press. These other companies have, thus far, flown under the radar, so they aren't feeling any pressure to stop. If someone wants to turn up the heat on them, the best way to do that is to contact your local media outlets about it. Naturally, this will only work in areas served by these providers. Find a well-written, informative online article about it, then send a link to your local newspaper and TV stations. Odds are, someone will be interested enough to start making some calls. If they don't, then consider writing a letter to the editor of your local paper and tell other folks about it.
When enough people start asking uncomfortable questions, you'll see these companies have a change of attitude. | |

When Charter came out and said they had plans to "trial" it, this site hit the Charter forums hard like it was the first company to use it, when all along, these other ISPs have been using it for a long time. Still don't quite get that. It will be interesting to see if guys like Rob hit the other forums around here like he it the Charter forums. I bet this all blows away now that Charter dumped it. | |

I appreciate the compliment, I guess, but I really don't have that kind of power. Truth is, I didn't "hit" the Charter forums until about a week or so ago, and I think I posted one thing there (which prompted a reply or two) about a Consumerist-esque blog on Charter that was new and was, I thought, pretty neat.
As you will read in my report, my focus was on "WOW!" (formerly Wide Open West), who also uses the technology. I pretty much just left Charter alone. I think I've posted on the WOW forum once or twice, tops.
