2 edits | The greening (destruction) of the Internet. The Internet is supposed to be FREE, yet thanks to the government limiting ISP competition to a few scumbags-said scumbags can do whatever they want-and we have no choice but to go along with it-or have no Internet at all.
The time has come for the people to tell the govt. to go F**K themselves!
I WANT unfettered Internet for a fair price-not the limited, slow, expensive filtered crap we get today. Most of the 'big boys' don't even offer Usenet any more! I pay a small fortune for Internet-and I shouldn't have to pay ANOTHER 12 bucks for something that I used to get for free! How is this not another price increase?
If the govt. would allow access to the 'last mile' to the home for a fair wholesale price (note that I'm not saying that competitors should get it for free-but they should be able to get it for a price that allows them to still offer service and make a couple of bucks in the process), then the resulting competition would drive prices down and speeds/quality up.
Cable Internet and DSL are monopolies today-and even worse they are UNREGULATED ones!
Fact is that the USA and Canada pays the highest prices for the worst service of ANY OTHER first world country!
My friends in Switzerland get REAL 8000/2000 (these are the MEASURED speeds!) DSL with static IP for about 28 US dollars a month. No caps and no blocks. No limiting of bandwidth or services like Usenet.
I pay 37 dollars for 6000/768 that actually measures 4000/650 on speed tests. If I wanted cable I'd pay 60 dollars a a month for
10,000/1000 Roadrunner cable-over twice as much as they pay for a bit more download and half the upload, plus dynamic IP-and no Usenet. |
