Re: What's the point of purchasing?

The point may be that the new owners may recapitalize the company so it can upgrade its infrastructure and services. Purchasing is not a bad thing. The current owners may be out of capital or unwilling to invest more capital. We all know the bar in BB services is rising, that means more capital spending is required to maintain or grow the business.

A failing or stagnant ISP provider is not your best friend in this market. DSLE has a lot of killer competitors out there who are upping the ante.

Like?

The only competitors I see are those like Comcast and Time Warner who the only thing they're upping is the price while limitations on use increase...monthly use limitations, no static IPs, no serving, very low usenet limits (in Comcast's case anyway)...pretty much browsing and email and that about it. Verizon has stepped up with FIOS but only has limited deployments thus far and DSLx was already in negotiations to resell their service over fiber or so they claimed in the DSLx forum »Any update on reselling FIOS? . In the SBC areas, who is the killer competitor suddenly stepping up? Certainly not SBC.

DSLx satisfaction ratings here at DSLR are higher than ALL of the cable operators listed, and higher than all of the incumbent DSL providers listed. Only a few indy ISPs like them rank higher.

I'm just not seeing who the killer competitors are in DSLx's service areas.

The bar is rising...but DSLx is already at the top of the customer satisfaction food chain when compared to their local competitors. Few ISPs here as DSLR have satisfaction ratings like theirs...certainly none of their local competitors like Verizon, SBC, Comcast and Time Warner.
