Waterbury, CT | I have to laugh when I hear about a telco executive talking about their fiber to the home strategy.
I live in a city of oh, 1 million people or so.
I live in the newest part of town.
Within a two minute walking distance from me is
>Officemax
>Sams Club
>Walmart
>Best Buy
>Circuit City
>CompUSA
>Staples
and, just about everything else you can imagine.
There are hundreds of new apts in my area, not to mention residential areas all around.
WE CAN'T EVEN GET DSL!!!
I guess that says it all.

My friend lives across the mountain from me. In a town of less than 1000 people or so.
Within a two minute walking distance from him is
>trees
>rocks
>maybe a store, if he hurried
>creek
and, just about nothing else you could imagine.
There are no new apartments, not to mention residential areas all around.
HE EVEN GETS DSL!!!
I chose the wrong mountain to live on.
Anyways my point is choose where you live carefully and look next time for a CO nearby. |

Well, my point is that people living in as heavily concentrated an area such as I live in really shouldn't have to choose where they live carefully to get DSL if
the Telcos were really on the ball and even close to being capable to deliver on a Fiber to the home strategy.
But, with Insight RR, TW RR, Earthlink Cable, WOW, AOL Cable, and lord knows who else providing high speed service in this city, I guess it's their loss, not ours!
And Btw, being familiar with your area, I'd say you didn't choose the wrong place to live at all. It's been known to be my little get a way place from time to time. Nothing like living in the stars on a nice summer night.

Agreed, but telco's are notoriously anti-spend money companies. All they care about is shareholder return. So it's all about "give us everything that doesn't cost money,kill any competition and maybe we won't fire any more techs." |
