| Why oh Why NorthPoint? NorthPoint was such a mighty fighter!! Why them? The worthiest of the worthy. The best of the best. Why them? Why the company that believed in proper equipment and excellent pricing? I'll tell you why. They were too interested in the customer. They knew too darn well that they were screwing themselves. Their pricing was just amazing!! But when they knew that there was no turning back, that they sealed their fate by spending too much, and getting too little, they were going to die. I and many people in the back of their heads knew that good 'ol NP was going to go down under. We just didn't know that ATT would be so greedy. This is going to bring ATT down, because of bad pricing!! WTF? They are boneheads. NO ONE WILL PAY THAT FRIGGIN' MUCH FOR SUCH LOW QUALITY DSL!!! ANYONE IN CHARGE OF PRICING READING THIS? YOU ARE HORRABLE!! YOU COULD HAVE KEPT SOME CUSTOMERS, BUT NO YOU HAD TO DO THIS!!
that is it. my two cents. BURN ATT. BURN!!! |

Anon | Get a grip soldier. All DSL providers will die soon. They are doomed due to their profitless business models and people like you who want cheap broadband at any cost. No matter how cool something is it can only survive if it makes money. Only the mighty ILEC's and companies like ATT will survive. They will rape you with higher prices. They will squeeze the bandwidth they provide so it is barely better then a dial up account. The future looks bad. Unless you get yourself hooked up with a dedicated T1. Then you can be a rebel. |

Amen brother...unless people are willing to SPEND MORE for a better service the DSL market will die. If that happens what will we have? Wireless? Cable? God help us all!!

| Let me clarify Bachus...New technology as we know it today. DSL, Cable, Wireless, etc...has not been available to the home user that long. |

Why does deploying it to the "home user" make it any different?
How can you have a standard when at last count there are as many different high speed methods of accessing the net as I have fingers????? |

I agree, the CLECs are going to be working in a very constrained fashion. Back in the old country, we had a saying, loosely translated as " he who has the stick, owns the buffalo". Here the ILECs have the stick.
The ILECs are the big guys here and they don't want others cornering the DSL market. Check out the frontpage here at DSLR and seems like Rhytms is going to pull a NP too. |
