| Re: Never makes it... Sorry, but we do need this alternative. We have two terrible choices for broadband here: Charter and Verizon. Both are among the slowest and most expensive providers in their respective technologies.
I welcome this and would be more than thrilled to dump Charter. I can certainly think of lots of other things to do with the $60 a month I now spend. | |

You should consider Verizon, It's half the price of Charter. It's only $30 a month for 3mb. Furthermore, FIOS will eventually be in most afluent places in LB.

Furthermore, FIOS will eventually be in most afluent places in LB. I had Verizon in past years and it was unreliable--plus their customer service just reeked. And I dont have a land line anymore  (do they do naked DSL?) If and when FIOS becomes available in my area, I will reconsider them but right now, its no better than what I have. | |

| Re: Never makes it... said by Bill :they really aren't something you can use for everyday activities like downloading files and playing online games. I could be wrong, but I do not believe those type of people are who they are targeting. I would expect they are targeting the web surfer and email checker and would suggest the others opt for the other services. | |

. Spotty coverage, slow speeds and packet loss. While these wifi networks can be used for checking email and other non-demanding tasks, they really aren't something you can use for everyday activities like downloading files and playing online games.
