Comcast Rick = Tokyo Rose?

Why do I hear the voice of "Tokyo Rose" or the one from the european front when reading one of Rick's rants?

That's not a crackling coming from me. It's coming off your own bell system and returning the static to your ears.

I'm on a cable co's digital fiber/coax soon to be docsis 3.0 connection which is crystal clear.

Maybe that's the problem with AT&T?

Actually I see in rick's reviews the voice of an unbiased and intelligent analysis.

Almost anyone who is on DSL is on a "fiber" link at some point too.

Anyone who uses the internet, even satellite, is going through a fiber line at some point- what do you think makes up the internet backbone?

Who cares about Docsis 3 at this point I just want comcast to ditch there crappy Ibone. It increases ping times way to much. There is no reason for me to peer to atlanta when chicago is 110 miles away except comcasts engineers are idiots.

Ricks not a Tokyo Rose he just sees the writing on the wall for AT&T. The demise of this company in its current form is needed. My uncle was talking with a AT&T tech and the tech told him they wish the copper would rot. They want to focus on going all wireless. The Cable company's are eating AT&T for lunch. I recently got a land line telephone through my provider its so much better than AT&T . I can view my call logs online, see caller ID on my tv. Bell is behind the curve.

With U-Verse Voice (VoIP) phone from AT&T, you can see the call logs on either your TV and/or online. Caller ID on TV is coming soon. You can initiate call-backs from the TV or online as well. You can check your voicemails online too.

The cable company in my area already does the call logs and caller ID on the tv. The call back or click to call sounds pretty useless to me. The point I'm trying to make is AT&T is behind.

your right Rick I work for att now as a installer, for two years now, the technology they are using is outdated and very unreliable. I am sad that I might loose my job next year here in dallas. Due to mostly people not getting this service unless it's some kind of freebie deals going on, we do a lot of apartment installs on people who are only trying out and or moving out soon and are not planning on keeping this service. Most people dont even have landline phone service, we are just using the old copper wire to send a slow signal in to the router. I wouldn't rely on it if I had a home business. Actually if it was just dsl then I actually would say it's okay. But if you connect everything to the same provider, you might not have anything at all on a bad day when some screwball in the CO pushes the wrong button and you have an entire state out of service, something that happens often.

Well, well, all the poo-pooing of Rick gets vindicated by this one post. I might have considered U-Verse before...but with TWO markets seeing cap trials, it's the last place my business is going.
