Re: New speeds Rogers cable - Teksavvy watch out

I'm not against fast download or upload speeds. I'm arguing against the ridiculous statement that 100mbit synchronous should be the minimum. Most people don't need such a thing, and have no desire to pay for such a beast.

The cost isn't that huge...look at google doing it in the US for 80 bucks a month with a minimal install fee. It can be done.

lols.. google's example is for a totally different reason then what you're thinking.. the price point they're using is because they can make up the difference in loss of profit/revenue with their AD services/data mining, as well as beta testing their new fully integrated TV/remote/AD/quick buy system that the whole thing is setup for.

Does anyone know exactly how Google is offering its fiber internet services in Kansas city? The situation there regarding ISPs is no different then here, there's only a handful of incumbents that own either the PSTN wiring or the coax cabling that reaches homes. It seems doublful they'd want to use either like TPIAs here are.

Has google actually built it's own fiber network straight from peering ISPs to homes? Thats a HUGE cost, and at their current pricing on plans, if this is what they did, they are eating the costs and losing money on every subscription.
