Re: People who live far from centers of society... No kidding. I live next to a subdivision that has maybe ten houses per mile. Affluent ones. People who would pay a reasonable price (even $70 per month) for reliable, fast internet access.
DSL came in late last year, to the central office. A small remote would cover the whole subdivision with a pretty darned low CapEx cost. Yet that RT will never be placed while Verizon is in control of things here. I'm at the end of the line for DSL, which cause about 20 minutes of downtime yesterday due to stormy weather. I'm not complaining...I'm working to do something better.
Oh, and Time Warner Cable is 2215 feet away. That'll be $9000, thank you.
I'm two miles from city limits, 3 miles from the city center. I *almost* know how you feel, though thanks be to God I'm not on satellite. |
