| 100 Megabit Pipe Dream That's what it feels like to me. 100 Megabits, only available in places far away from here. Double digit speeds? What are those? Upgrades? Not 'round here.
And Arlington's a major entertainment center for the greater Dallas/Fort-Worth area, so don't tell me I'm living in a podunk little worthless town. Not to mention conveniently located smack dab in the middle, 10-15 minutes from either city. Hell not even there will you get close to 100Mbit. It's all Charter, TWC, and AT&T's fault. Actually, I blame Comcast for selling out. I'm sure if they had stuck around, this place wouldn't be so starved for speed. Sure there's FIOS up in Verizonland in the Dallas suburbs, but that's about it if you want anything better a few megabits.

We have FIOS out here in the cow pastures too. 35mbit symmetrical.  |

You said it: TWC, AT&T. You won't get high speeds.
If you had said "Comcast, Verizon", then there'd be a massacre. The results would be blood spurting veins and arteries everywhere, with broadband bits flowing all over the place. You'd hardly be able to make a connection with all the gore. Once the police came, they'd clean up and you'd have the fastest in the nation. But, you have AT&T and TWC. Done. |

| At least AT&T is making a little effort. 24/3 speeds are coming soon to uverse areas. Time Warner is the most pathetic of them all. They actually set different zip codes in Los Angeles at different speeds based on what competitive services are available. If you're in a territory that wasn't selected for FiOS or U-Verse, you are likely to get lower speeds. They can't just be a market leader and offer a consistent product in this region. The only thing they seem to be interested in innovating is consumption based billing.
I really wish we still had Comcast.
