Re: Nice, but...... said by gpancner:
stop complaining and find an alternative. just because your local officials are working against their constituency, shouldn't prevent you from finding another source of broadband access. if you want video you don't need cable companies. if you want broadband you don't need comcast. you can get it from cable's broadband competitors - your local phone company (isdn,dsl,adsl, etc), starband, direcpc or direcway.
When I did live in Baltimore City, I did try and get DSL. ISDN was not available. Neither was ASDL. Even though I was 12000 feet from the CO, I was over 20000 feet from the CO line wise. With the exception of 2 days out of 90, I never got above 100kbps. Directway was not feasable either at the time.
Fact is Baltimore City is apparently not a good place to get DSL or cable for that matter. I moved and got cable since DSL was slower at the time and Verizon still does not impress me with their service either. Lesser of 2 evils. Doesn't mean I can't ask for better service. |
