Re: Here's an idea TDS

said by BF69:

how about providing 3 Mbps DSL to ALL your areas FIRST. My friend that lives on the western edge of our country is supplied by TDS for some reason. No DSL. A mile away in the next county they have DSL. So screw TDS and their 50 Mbps.
I could say the same of all incumbent telecoms. I can't even get Verizon FiOS, let alone DSL.

Verizon in my town of 10,000's county fair parade had a truck pained with "High Speed Online coming soon." Yeah that's right, they don't have DSL AT ALL in my area. DSL service is provided by a company that is now part of Windstream. The service is solid but not widely available (due to a crappy telephone network) and maxes out at 1.5/512 for $50 (minus overhead makes things closer to 1.25/400). We'll get sold to someone else before we get FiOS. I guarantee it.

Fortunately, despite the lack of competition, TWC has a 2 Mbps up tier for $50 (residential customers only...business has to pay $300 or so for the privelege). 15 Mbps down + PowerBoost. But in today's high-bandwidth economy it'd sure be nice to get another megabit or three on the upload side.
