1 edit | Broadband is not the same as internet access
said by mikef1  :Yeah and 85Mbps of that 100 will be used for video only, the TV stations they will try to sell you. Yes!!!!!!!
Too many miss that little "detail". To the telcos, "broadband" does not equal "internet access". To them, "broadband" is a channel to sell you services like TV. They'll use as little of it for unmetered internet access as they can get away with in the market.
Remember that when AT&T owned their cable business, they called it "AT&T Broadband", even though very little of their bandwidth was used for internet access. To the telcos, "broadband" is not about providing "fat dumb pipe" access to consumers. |
