Re: upgrade or die
said by patcat88  :I guess their beancounters said they can't have any growth from USF and T1 revenue. Upgrade or die. Nobody in their right mind would get DSL when cable is 2-3x faster for the same price. Also I wonder does Embarq offer sub-$20 DSL or not. If not, they are living off USF fumes in their gas tank. I would like to correct you on that...There are people in their right mind who will chose DSL when cable is 2-3x faster at the same price. In my area it's either Comcast Cable or Embarq DSL. I have chosen Embarq DSL because they are more stable than Comcast, light years better support than Comcast, and Embarq has no issues with me running my own FTP/HTTP/SMTP servers on my connection like Comcast does.
When Hurricane Charley struck, all of the people on my block with Comcast had no service, TV or internet, for almost a month. My DSL never went down.
That, to me, is worth a heck of a lot more than 2 or 3 times the speed. What good is that speed when it isn't working?
