| Only in japan, korea, sweeden, uk, australia................ well if most of us can get 10/10 for 28.94 a month vs att, comcast, cox, timewarner and the rest of the clown in this country of capital greed... we would be on our way to surfing happily. 30mbps for 44.95 vs verizon fios 20/20 64.95 or 50mbps vs verizon 50/20 would make verizon user jealous and wanting more from their provider. 
I thought that 10/10 for 54.00, 20/20 for 92.00 and 50/50 for 139.99 is a bit steep and I was quite right... if you are competing with att dsl and comcast cable internet even many user would be switching to this pricing scheme or offer. we would be able to do more with our connection that are symmetrical, no cap. bandwidth cap in my opinion is a hidden scam to hide the fact that dsl and cable is really much slower and congested then what they advertise.
Instead of providing more bandwidth to everyone a greedy company who interest is control and based on selfishness thrive on limitation using existing old and ancient technology that should be scrapped and thrown back in the trashcan where it really belong.
The truth is they do no want any competition namely ATT, Comcast, Cox, Timewarner all are owned by the same greedy few who have a monopoly on broadband in the usa.
This is what happen when the few own so much of what we need and the rest of us are just drooling for it. Want it? Pay up. Thats their motive and i find it absurd.
We know its possible to offer fastest speed, no cap and cheap broadband but the the few in control of broadband isn't too happy about that.
They want to sell us crappy slow broadband at high price so they can keep their investment as high as they can get it to give it to their wallstreet thief buddy.
Why should we let the few dictate what broadband we should get and who to provide us service?
I think everyone of us should vote with our opinion not with our wallet which is the reason why these monopoly can take place and we see little to no improvement on broadband connectivity or penetration. | |

You must know a different UK to the one I live in, here we have far less FTTH than the US, I would guesstimate less than 5000 connections nationwide. | |

What a load of horse puckey. The duopolys have delivered us incredible improvements in broadband connectivity and penetration. In 1998, we were still struggling to get 56K switched digital service, at a cost of over $100 per month. We progressed to 256K DSL for $60, which became 512K, then 768K, then the price dropped. Cable entered the foray, and we now have 6 Meg speeds for $45.
All of this progress was driven by "greed", investors chasing mythical profits. Much of the industry already went through bankruptcy once, which screwed the shareholders and paid off much of the backbone and last-mile investments - new companies picked up the pieces and continue to discount against each other, even if you only have two choices.
I still think we'd be better off having the last-mile spun off and treated as a public (fiber+copper) coop, so it would be easier for ISPs, CLECs, and CATV to enter the local market, but even without that, we've enjoyed remarkable progress.

Why should we let the few dictate what broadband we should get and who to provide us service? So you'd rather have your "broadband" provided by the post office, who didn't think anyone wanted overnight packages until federal express came along? The same people that provide municipal bus "service"? The folks who run the public school system?
Do you really want to switch out the "few, evil, greedy" corporate entities for a few-er government dictators who will decide what "progress" is and when you deserve it? | |

| Greed hold back tehnology that cost the same or less
Namely fiber optic
No matter how much you push DSL, Cable it is an inferior product. Its just not going to compete or fair worse then better alternative. Its like comparing a honda vs toyota.
Neither have the potential to grow or offer us symmetrical real broadband solution.
I am saying we need better alternative rather then no alternative such as DSL or Cable
Neither of this is enough for our need.
anything faster then dialup is considered broadband? IMHO is misleading and false advertisement.
Government are run by the few at the expense of the many
You have it backward 
Business are not regulated by government and government are business oriented for the benefit of the few or the super rich who own almost everything today. We have a fascism already in place since world war I
There has never been a government for the ppl by the ppl
It just doesn't exist. Because ppl chose to follow each other then to go their own way. To be self sufficent would mean taking responsibility. Most of us want others to hold our hand and be shown what to do rather then making their own choices.
Business=Government=Private entity or corporation
Don't be brainwashed by what we are taught in school its all a lie to keep us ignorant and misguided | |
