Suddenlink VS Greenlight NC

Was wondering with all the download/upload speeds that Greenlight NC offers(greenlightnc.com), if Suddenlink will ever catch up with them and offer those same speeds someday? What do ya'll think?

They do offer those speeds, you just have to sign up for business fiber.

You're comparing a city wide fiber service to a national cable provider.... Talk about apples and oranges.

It'll be many years before ANY cable system will be able to provide the same as fiber, if ever. It's not even technologically possible currently

Yeah but why get and spend more and all that money business fiber when you can get residential speeds and even gigabits speeds at a fraction of the cost at Greenlight NC.

Because a lot of people don't live in that particular town and have that service available.....

If you live there, of course it's a no brainer

They have no incentive to do so. Greenlight is in Wilson. The state has passed anti-community fiber legislation. So unless some new player enters the market here in Greenville we're doomed to stay well behind the rest of the world in u/d speeds for quite a while.

You haven't seen the video going around where the president (or some B$ title) guy says the days of expanding/upgrading service is over. time to reap the benefits.
