The city wasn't playing fair. They tried to involve their own taxpayer backed free network that was created by politico fiat.

And BellSouth is wrong to be upset when the gov't comes in and uses taxpayer money to cut their knees off?

And I did back up my position. Being near the city actually allows me a type of inside track as to what's going on so my info is based on more than BBR's party line. The competing position was "BellSouth is ^$@$&%&%#*!", so there isn't much to counter.

With all the people crying in New Orleans, you would think the emergency is still there.

Bellsouth isn't installing fiber to the premise so there is a lot of new copper being placed. Almost all last mile stuff.
Clearly not that case according to the news report and the Bellsouth representative in that news report. And of course all the footage showed them installing copper and there was no mention of fibre optics anywhere in the news report.

Once again, Bellsouth seems to be doing the job half ass and on the cheap. Instead of making a long term investment that makes sense given the status of much of their network in that area, they dropped the ball.

Well I have no obligation to respond to anonymous jerks.

You're ignorant of the situation and your "proof" is laughable. Why would they talk about installing fiber on a report of copper theft?

This really is expected. Jerks who know less than nothing about what BellSouth is actually installing feel fre yto pointificate about how horrible a job BellSouth is doing.

This faith based hatred you have towards BellSouth is symptomatic of a deeper psychosis. Get help.

Get an account and I'll respond more politely. Anon-trolls get no respect.
