Maybe now we will see faster DSL speeds.
When there is no competition what is the incentive for Telco to provide service at a reasonable price? They know you are captive so they can ask whatever they please. Oh, if you do not live in upscale neighborhood you can wait much much longer....

Hell, even in an upscale neighborhood, that may or may not be the case. We didn't have affordable broadband up until about 2002-2003, even as all the surrounding urban neighborhoods were getting wired up.

*laughs* I remember AT&T calling us then about a 128k ISDN line for the low-low price of $100+ a month. Uh-huh. We needed broadband, but we weren't about to pay 3x-4x subscription rates of the surrounding neighborhoods.
