 Aggie DanStop... Reverse That.Premium join:2001-01-30 Frisco, TX | Personally... I've had pretty good service with my SBC line, though AOL is my ISP for DSL.
Though, I do plan on switching to SBC for the ISP. They seem to be pretty solid right now, at least in my area.
And let's face it folks, DSL equipment costs money. Installation costs money. Broadband isn't an inalienable right. If it was, you'd get it for free. It is a luxury. And it is one that I'm willing to pay for.
I'm from a telco family (Sprint, Qwest, SBC, and Verizon). So, my allegiances run both ways on all issues.
Now, SBC should open up those COs to competition... But, not at the cost of not being able to roll out service in the first place. Colocating costs them money. LOTS of money. And if a CO isn't going to be able to attract a large number of consumers, then everyone just puts out a lot of money fighting over scraps. -- Note : The statements made by myself on DSL Reports are purely my own and is not in anyway to be considered indicative of the opinions of my employer or of my coworkers. |
