ATT UVerse is supposed to be coming, but coverage is spotty. Sunflower pretty much sucks, (money and otherwise). What are you going to do, though? If you want broadband, you have to live with the deal the devil makes you until a less evil entity comes along.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22635401 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:37:02 EDT Re: 3 GB? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22634133 Kearnstd : even conservative usage of just playing WoW, Ventrilo and streaming internet radio and no patching i can crack 3gb without any effort.

3 GB's ? The internet is going backwards. This cap shit is getting serious.
No, its the new norm.

Check out this ISP's page. Cable HFC ISP in Belgium. No translation needed.

Had I not looked in the phone book I would have never found out about the WISP I use now, and would have been stuck on wildblue paying $5 more a month for sat with a cap(the WISP I use has no cap) AND I would still be using embarq land line which cost me $70(I use VOIPo now). But I guess some cannot afford to advertise.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22633889 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:38:43 EDT Re: 3 GB? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22633819 ShellMMG : I'm hanging on to my Alltel contract for dear life because they don't have a cap. I've got 1-1/2 years before I have to accept Verizon's terms and all I can do is cross my fingers the neighboring WiMax service will add another antenna/tower nearby.

Is it just me, or is there a lack of advertising in rural areas for internet service?? I had to dig hard to find a provider and there's never anything in the little local papers about who to contact. It seems if my neighbors knew they could get internet without resorting to satellite they'd be thrilled. One of them even stopped by my house, asking around as to which service we used because he needed an ISP!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22633819 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:31:05 EDT Re: 3 GB? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22633343 N3OGH : And while you're at it, demand to be connected to a WHITE person while you strike up a Lucky. Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco! It's stimulates your "T" zone. I mean "C" Zone!

Wow, that's a lot of leg for a 50's ad.....

We just have to figure out how to get it. I guess it could be like one cableco one telco and one coop fore each area. The cable could use docsis3 telco could use FTTH and the coop could use FTTH(no one says there cannot be more than one) LTE or Wimax.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22633135 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 10:02:08 EDT Re: 3 GB? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22632924 nasadude :

yep. the big boys (ATT, TW, Verizon, Comcast) are trying to take us back to the halycon days of the 50s, when men were men and telecom monopolies strode the earth.
