| What good is up to 18m if you cannot use it?
I had WB and it was on MAYBE 4 hours a day and from 6am to 12pm on saturday and then off till monday! What kinda of cap will it have? On their 512 connection the cap I had was too small. I hope they do not get one cent of the stimulus money! They do not deserve it! Give it to MWISPs like millenicom, they have no cap and much better lag than WB. Or give it to FWISPs, they are even better a lot of the time. |

What is Millenicom going to do with the money? they don't have any network at all. Everything is resold. I also called them about getting service with them and found their "CSR" to be a little rude along with the rest of the staff. |

Pleasant Hill, MO | So they can pay att and t-mobile for the ability to re-sell their stuff too.
I would rather it ALL go to REAL ISPs, (small)local internet originated, not tel/cablecos pretending to be ISPs. |

| TM is very picky on who resells and ATT is as well. Also Millenicom only resells VZ.
But resellers are NOT anyway a "real" ISP. They're just someone who piggy backs on someone else, and doesn't want to build out their own network to really do anything.
Also if it wasn't for Cable companies and the CLEC telco's we we'd still be for the most part stuck on dial-up and ISDN.
@Home was the first Cable ISP and the fastest ISP at the time. |

Pleasant Hill, MO | I know resellers are not "real" ISPs.
"Also if it wasn't for Cable companies and the CLEC telco's we we'd still be for the most part stuck on dial-up and ISDN" I know, but times change. |

| Times do change but not with all Cable or Telcos. Look at Cablevision they offer kick ass speeds and always have. Even after the @Home days. Comcast and are the only ones that down graded the speeds. RoadRunner was born then as well.
Cablevision should be given money to expand their services. Especially if they want to expand out side of their current service area. Buckeye Cablesystem has great products as well, prices maybe a little high but you always obtain your speeds,with a new DOCSIS network being built out now.
I think that if all of the providers used the same ISP just like they did with @home everything would be better. Keep the ISP separate from the Operator and all would work out fine.
Maybe re-create @Home and @Work |

Latency is a problem but doesn't make it unusable.
It's damn FAP that kills the whole thing.
Dump the unrealistic FAP and it "could" be a real contender in the rural community.
What good is 18M if FAP shuts you down after 10 Minutes ?..
