| Gee Verizon, at least 1 mb pleeease
Sounds nice, I hate the fact that I have to pay Verizon full price for 1/2 speed due to distance. There must be something that could be done. Don't the phone companies have anything like a repeater to keep the signal going?
As a matter of fact I had EarthLink before I moved and they gave me the same distance crap, when I knew the co was just around the corner.
I have Direct TV so I will not be calling Comcast. DirecTV’s Direct way does not seem like a very good choice either.
I am just complaining I guess, I really would like more speed. heck, I use to pay EL almost $55 a month for 728/128 at least my Verizon (DSL) is just $29.99. With the phone DSL service I ordered from them I am saving over $50 a month and have WAY better phone services. Including, unlimited long distance calls, mail box, call intercept with number blocking and priority numbers. + more....
In case anyone is interested Verison Freedom/DSL is what I use: »www22.verizon.com/foryourhome/sa···ctor.asp |

Berkeley, CA | Uh, read up on the technology. They can't install repeaters because they degrade the signal too much. The only way to get faster speeds to more people is for them to install remote DSLAMs in the field, which is expensive, etc. |
