Re: Ed is a genius!

Tell me about it! I live in an area served by Bellsouth with IFITL(fiber to the curb) that they put in about 5 years ago. They don't want to spend money to upgrade some part until they get a return on it, and I'm stuck at 1.5mpsx256k. WTF!!!! We have comcast already offering 8mbps. Don't they understand that people will leave???????

Umm...I'd say his comments are proof that he's ALREADY been struck dumb (or maybe struck outright stupid).

Hey Ed...I'm trying your 14.99/month DSL right now. You start playing this tiering bullcrap and you know what? I won't even use your service for FREE, I'll go to another provider that doesn't pull that crap. So will your other subs. Then you won't have to worry about those nasty content providers clogging up your network - because you won't have anybody pulling content through your network. We'll all be using your competitors' services!

ATT/SBC investors - want your company to survive? Band together and oust Ed Whitacre!

...And while the greedy asses in charge continue to stuff their pockets the USA falls farther behind in any sort of real internet connectivity. Africa is putting in a hundred million dollar IPv6 backbone running up both coasts, to europe and asia. We have to listen to retards complain they arent rich enough yet. Neatherland universities get 40gbps hookups. We get higher prices and slower service. Third world countries are leaving us in the dust. WTF does that make us then? A 4th world country? This place sucks, if anybody wants to talk to me, i'll be in south korea.

My question is this:

What happens if ALL content providers were to pay this stupid tariff to Mr. Ed? How can he say which service will get better QoS, if they are all supposedly getting the "best" QoS. The only thing I can think of would be that they all get mediocre QoS and then Ed gets more money, for the same crappy service.

I wish he would just shut up, or else become struck dumb. These content providers are already paying for their internet access just like we are...
