| My local isp isn't bad? I use a local cable ISP. A little pricey but very reliable and i have a killer upload. 1mbps/512kbps for $65. I could of gotten 512/256kbps for $45. For $95 i could get 1.5mbps/1mbps (NEAR T1 SPEEDS). My cable has not been down once in about 5 months (since i'v had it) and they don't complain about me uploading at 60k/s all day either. I hope more local cable co's start their own isp instead of letting Time Warner come in and do it for them. |

| Hmmm.. I guess your cable co just must not have access to the kind of capital that ATT and TW have.. since they have built such an infe..... wait a minute.. that rocks citizenx, i wish i lived in your area
and news flash to everyone else, ATT is one of the biggest out there and their reason for not coming out to the fox valley so far has been insufficient return on their capital expenditure.. so go figure.. the premise that the big guys magically have access to huge amounts of capital and are willing to service everybody is quite faulty.
Hasn't anyone considered that economies of scale might refer to economies of the PROPER scale. Bigger is not always better. Bigger sometimes means more bloated, more inefficient, less likely to provide a good experience to subscribers, more difficult to react to changes in the Market. Why not have some elightened local public players take advantage of some favorable local synergies and make strategic infrastructure decisions that can positively impact a wide spectrum of consumers and businesses?
Rock on.

Sounds like opportunity knocking if I ever saw it. Grab a backhoe and about a thousand miles of fiber and get to work.
