This is just not right.. You have Cable networks that provide 10Mbps down and other provide 1.5Mbps down and some less then that.. Not only are the prices wacky but what do they plan to do about this? nothing as I see so far but to raise the prices.. By that time the price you pay for your cable Isp can get you FTTH.
Not right? Even a moderate like me can see that SBC has no obligation to provide FTTH. It's "not right" that our free enterprise system hasn't stepped-in yet to solve this market snafu. That's up to you and me kid.
Actually our free market system has stepped in by virtue of the golden rule. SBC has the gold so they're making the rules. As was said earlier, they're sitting mighty pretty so they have no need or incentive to upgrade especially for working people who can't afford to pay a wheelbarrow full of money for it each month. They'll make just as much off of the paired copper as they would fiber only without the investment.
