| 18000 ft of what? Much of the network I troubleshoot dsl in--ex-gte--verizon west--is comprised of 26ga copper from the central office to the cross connect. This gauge cable degrades line capacity to carry dsl quite a bit. That is one big reason why enhanced packages, 1.5 downstream , for instance, do not work reliably past 12k ft. |

| Who's talking about 1.5M?? All I want is 384k. Heck, I'll take 256k. Forget about regulations. Assume there are no regulatory, legal, or consumer issues, how could it not be profitable for the RBOCs to offer 384k or 256k up to 18000ft? |

Could be that verizon see's no point in upgrading the wiring through most parts of the inland empire, like rialto, highland, san bernardino, you really think they want to go through the expense in areas where the average person is a fucking moron and couldnt use a comp as it is. |

ok, you'll take anything... right up till you get "something" and then you will scream bloody murder you never said/meant that literally. Since you'll take anything, at what point do you feel your getting burned for your service/money. Are you trying to tell us you will settle for say 3 hours a day reliable 256k for $40 mo?[i believe you stated price is the least of issues?]how bout we spread out those 3 hours randomly, heck, let's just give you an hour a day for $50, kewl, right? of course not, so...]
Where are you using the broadband you can't get at home [you seem to know what your missing?]
Now, the wireless access company your going to start, I demand you grant me access to your equipment, I am going to compete with you for your same customers and I am going to do it using the equipment you paid for and set up. Sound fair to you? [sounds fair to the cable and resellers who what the telcos RT's, but alas, no, it doesn't work both ways, humm... no telco, you can't use my cable network]
Deregulate. Less Regulations. The government should be in charge of this matter? make up your mind. |
