I don't either. It's just that ATT doesnt want to offer service beyond what they want to in the areas that the customers do not meet what ATT wants as a customer or credit rating. I have VARDs all around where i live in my area but go down the street a few miles they stop. Why? The neighborhoods do NOT meet what ATT thinks they should as income. But i bet 70% of them have cable since ATT won't deploy DSL to those customers. |

| reply to OSUGoose I dont buy it. At least for the North. In the North poor neighborhoods developed where the jobs were. The inner city. Where the jobs were is also where the good infrastructure is.
In my experience this is reflected in DSL CO distances in the city vs suburbs. also, poor people watch cable tv too. cablecos have lots of advanced tech to stop theft in poorer hoods first.
I dont buy that underdeveloped infrastructure argument in Northern cities. -- dnoyeB "Then said I, Wisdom [is] better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom [is] despised, and his words are not heard. " Ecclesiastes 9:16
