Ask PA

Perhaps the residents of Portland should consult the populace of Pennsylvania on the telco promise to bring Fiber to that fine state?

Just a thought,

Yeah, we have been waiting patiently since 1993. I have fiber to my remote terminal, but not even DSL yet. The only reason we have Fiber to the RT is that I live in an Ex-GTE area and they were actually attempting to live up to the agreement. 13 years: I have held 6 jobs, owned two cars, seen two Presidents, put myself through College, had 5 serious girlfriends, etc. during the same time period. What is the point in waiting for a Telco to do anything, put in the fiber yourself as it is the only way people will see it any time soon.

AMEN!!! And very funny post! ROCK ON! Yet, sad commentary on the state of the Telco's broken promises. Wake up America! When the Telco's say they will finally roll out services if we JUST allow them to deregulate, or we JUST let them to be a monopoly...and THEN they will upgrade services...they are not always telling the truth...geesh! They exist for one reason only, and that is to make money...a lot of it. Money for them and their stock holders. They don't care about the digital divide, they don't care about giving service to everyone that wants it. They don't care what number in the world we are in broadband penetration. They simply want what is feasible for them.
