As I predicted a while back already more and more cities/municipalities will jump on the broadband bandwagon and start offering their citizens and local businesses a decent service. It's time to chop the greedy corporate monopoly's legs off. And they are not both monopolies! In Tacoma you still have the choice of wich service you want.Of course you'd be downright stupid to opt for Comcast,because you can get CLICK! for almost 1/2 the price and higher DL speeds to top it ! Comcast is the monopoly in most places(like where I live,but not for much longer) Government(city,municipality) run broadband couldn't be considered a monopoly anyways even they were the only offering for a given area,because they are a NON-profit outfit. Not driven by corporate greed and fat business schmucks trying to fill their pockets with our $$$. The prices CLICK! of Tacoma charges is merely coverage for their incurred costs for this service.No profit margin as far as I know. And if anybody out there wants to argue that then answer this first. If they were making a profit on their service,wich they charge a whopping $29 USD for, and offering faster speeds than i.e. Comcast,who charges $57 USD, then what's wrong with this pricing picture here? And don't start with this upgrades & expansions crap,because CLICK! is doing all that too! In fact I'm informed they will be invading my neighborhood soon. I'm merely blocks away from their current service area limits and I've envied those that have CLICK! from day 1 of the ATTBI takeover from the glorious @HOME days.You see ATTBI has been total crap from day 1 until now. They've raised rates and chopped our services to pieces(see my review of ATTBI) If it were still @HOME-like service as it was a couple years back I'd still be a happy camper and could justify paying almost twice as much,because back then I got twice the speeds of CLICK! and even more. I've been nothing but screwed dry by AT&TBullsh*tInternet & Comcrap continues on that same path. Time to show them my tallest fingers! -- I am becalmed, lost to nothing.Warm weather and a holocaust.Left to die by two good friends.Abandoned me and put to sleep.Left to die by two good friends.Tears of god flow as I bleed.So ladies fish and gentlemen,Here's my angled dream | |
