| RE:AT&T: Our Broadband Is Fast Enough I am so glad that I'm in a Qwest area and afraid to move to a AT&T area. I checked out my parents place in Fort Worth, Texas. The fast speed in that neighborhood is 6 Mbps, and I'm enjoying 20 Mbps with Qwest (soon to be 40 Mbps).
If you have DirecTV, 20 or even 40 Mbps is perfect for on-demand content. Wait until you have 3 or 4 users that like to play video games online, all at the same time. 6 Mbps is not fast enough.
AT&T's current attitude reminds me of Gates (founder of Microsoft) response over 15 years ago, "You won't ever need more than so many megabytes of ram." Lucky for Gates, he's not a hardware manufacturer or he would have been out of a job. |
