| Broadband a mixed bag here.  I was spoiled when I lived in South Florida. I had access to several broadband providers. BellSouth for DSL, Adelphia for Data Over Cable and most Wireless companies were providing enhanced broadband. When I moved to Central Florida in early 2006, I discovered that access to broadband was a mixed bag. I was fortunate to purchase a home in an area where I can subscriber to DSL or Data Over Cable. On the other hand I chose not to purchase a home in an area where I could not subscriber to DSL or Data Over Cable. What made things more complicated was that there are three CATV providers in this area. At the time some CATV Companies did not offer Digital Cable or Broadband in many areas. Many homeowners were using DirectWay Broadband, now Hughes Net. In view of the fact that most Broadband ISP's do not want to deploy Broadband Service in areas where they cannot get instant payback. It is time for government to step up and provide a high speed connectivity to all homes, like they provide roads and highways. |
