 | Who's got a landline anyway? More than you think.. Well more people than you think. Retention rates it the EAST are higher than most areas. Ever call a business? How's that DSL connected or T1's that feed offices, hospitals or that HDSL that has been running the CELL Tower's for years? This LEGACY technology isn't going fast or gone yet. But according to the BIG BRAINS in Texas.,the future is wait for it...wireless or the gross raping of the American IPHONE idiot. This is the only thing they want in the corporate world. Profits no people. Boy those TEXAN'S, think I want to watch Football on my Iphone, or surf the net using that metered wireless plan. The same company that charged those exorbent fees for TEXTING, which cost nothing to send or receive. Now their wireless net is different? Different than that other net, that everyone else is on? No SKYPE, no HULU, BIG BROTHER at$t has the new world order for you. Watch what they use for excuses for the lousy service....in CT I believe they are/or were a PUBLIC UTILITY. First, not a wall st money bag. Folks don't let the corporate brainwash rename the same ol' PIG. You own the stock and all morality and community go right out the window.For what? for the bottom line and cost cutting if it means jobs so too bad, Save money hire out of state contractors. What about in state? I dont want them on my lawn and certantly not in my house. And do you really want those people working on your lines or even Goverment lines? Who's corporate rules do they follow? Do they even have a Code of Conduct? Security is tossed aside when it comes to contractors and oversight is minimal to none, just let them do cheap and quick without OSHA or State LAWS. You got it, the new at$t is no SNET. JD power awards for the best local company. YES, DPUC records show that Snet was better , more reliable and customer centric. Well since these people were our friend and neighbors. The dispatch was local, call repair was local, Help from INDIA? NOT! We had our own wireless LYNX and our own long distance. We had the First real competition to CABLE called AMERICAST. State of the art and It was 14 years ago... Well till the OVERPAID Shortsighted TEXAN'S rode in and said "WE AIN'T IN THE TV BUSINESS" In 1 year, they shut it down, and VOILA 10 YEARS later were in the TV business. WOW! You pay $160 million for that kind of stupid? I'd expect VISIONARY not SBC stupid know it all attitude. So Union hater's go put your money in wireless...you dummies, and I'll hold out for fiber and an open network and unlimited bandwidth ah to dream...the impossible DREAM |
