Re: Additionally

Case in point: My own rental unit already had the wiring in place by the local cable monopoly. I have considered several times getting DSL instead, however, that would entail a laundry list of inconvenience to me including:

(1) Taking time out of work to sit and wait for the DSL provider to show up and split the line into voice and data;

(2) Waiting on the local telco monopoly to provision the line, which, as previously experienced elsewhere, took 30-45 days.

Cable has many what some consider "unfair" advantages over DSL in more ways than just home ownership sales.
This is true but it is also somethings Telcos can and ought to fix.

They have a real "can't do" attitude!

in my opinion, it's not the ILECs have a "can't do" attitude, it's they have a "been sitting around on their fat phone and DSL monopoly @ssess for too long and don't know how to compete anymore" attitude.

they were fat, dumb and happy after they killed all the clecs and line sharing died, then cable started real broadband deployment, followed by digital voice, while the telcos sat around until they got hit by the cable truck.

and I'm still not sure they get it.
