| Re: if you can get dsl or cable in your area You know there is something here that has been irking me for a while and frankly its the mindset.
In this scenario, the ploy is to force customers to a broadband solution but frankly many of these poor users can't get affordable broadband either because it's too rural an area or the telcos are too cheap to invest in updating the infrastucture. I have many clients and friends that just can't get broadband solutions....so they're stuck with dial-up. And now, they want to raise the prices...not to support an upgrade in quality or service but simply as a marketing ploy. Oh pound salt on that one,
It seams more and more people assume the standard method of access to the internet is broadband...when its still in fact a dial-up connection. Gone are the days when websites used to have a text only option on the default web page and gone are the days you used to be able to patch the Windows OS on dial-up.
I have to regularly remind Web developers that although pictures are pretty, content and communication is what a commercial web page is about. And if a potential customer has to wait 7 minutes for pages to load they'll go elsewhere for solutions.
Sadly the more and more we rely on technology...the more and more we lose our humanity. |
