And what do we need to get Service Electric to upgrade their outside plant?
Their outside plant is upgraded in many areas. The Sparta system is DOCSIS3 capable. I'm running their 30/2 service at home with the DPC2505 modem.

To get them beyond that what they need is competition. Embarq seems to be happy just deploying DSL and nothing else. FiOS has had the effect of forcing cable companies to explore plant and wiring upgrades where previously they didn't even bother. Maybe Embarq needs to do the same, but it seems unlikely given their business model.

 I knew they offered the 30x2 tier on my street but I ass/u/med it was a DOCIS 2.x base. At $80/mo + tax/fees I will pass. Like you say, speed is only good for bragging rights when the cap is 50GB.

I am in a Verizon ILEC area so maybe some day I will see fiber. I will see pigs fly before that however.

1 edit		 I actually do have a legit use for the speed, and it's not P2P. I work from home sometimes and have to download/upload large files. I mainly got the upgrade for the upload.

Work pays for my home internet connection, up to $100/month so might as well make of use of it eh?

Maybe one day Embarq will wake up and smell the coffee, but right now they are happy overcharging for local phone service and DSL. Given that a lot of consumers in my neck of the woods are on satellite, it is likely that they are also on DSL.
