Re: What good is up to 18m if you cannot use it?

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.

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

That might work. I have heard cablevision is good they r working on 100m.

Cablevision is always head of the curve so that doesn't surprise me at all.

does anyone on here remember the old at home domain? home.com wasn't it?
