North Port, FL | Can't believe this made a headline... Hello? Use a cell phone, instead of local lines. |
|
| Security systems and DBS receivers like to have an actual phone line to connect to. It looks like it's either play the ILEC's way or nobody that's too far from the CO can ever get DSL service. Please don't say that the CLEC's can build their own facilities. If the ILEC's had to play by all the same rules/regulations/costs back in the early 20th century when they started to build the plant they couldn't afford to do it either. |

| Oh Please!!!! Spare me with the 'Its tough to be a CLEC' story. First of all, costs are relative. It may cost more today to build out a facilities based network but doesn't everything cost more and everyone makes more too. And in todays world the CLEC's have the upper hand when it comes to regulation any ways....meaning they are pretty much free to do what they want. And isn't it interesting that the ILEC's are still spending billions a year to build out their networks even as they are required to let the CLEC's use them more and more for next to nothing!!
Give me break!!! |

BTW the move is on to make a "Cell phone" 'equivalent' to having a "Phone line" for legal, tax, etc etc purposes.
I've already heard some local wireless ads where they refer to signing up for a "line" rather then "another phone".
This is purely a tax/fee move.

I don't think it really matters what you or the Bells think or want. All that matters is what the customers want. If customers want competition and CLEC's to exist, then who are you to say they shouldn't? |

Excuse Me!
I never meant to imply that CLEC's should not exist. And I don't think anywhere in my post did I say that CLEC's should not exist.
There is a place in this world for everyone to play and that includes the ILEC's and the CLEC's and all the other LEC people out there.
And you are right, it doesn't matter what I think because I certainly have no control over anything. But everyone in this forum seems to have an opinion and I have mine, right or wrong. |

North Port, FL | Guess I should have clarified...the article was about being forced to have the same provider as your existing land line. So my post should have read...
If you want DSL with a different provider than your existing land line, drop the land line provider and use a cell phone provider as a replacement. As soon as you drop your land line service provider, they no longer hold say or sway over your line. That way, you can use any DSL provider you want (available in your area of course) with your land line instead of being forced to have DSL provided by the same company that provides your land line service.
