| Re: Hmm How about living in an area that had NO form of broadband until late 2002? I live over five miles from my town's central office, which SNET->SBC->AT&T deployed there in the mid to late 90's. They said they would "eventually" get around to installing the DSL equipment on the remote terminal in my area. Simply put, I waited for over five or six years for them to install the equipment.
To make a long story short, I languished on 56k speeds for years waiting for AT&T. Comcast FINALLY brought HSI to the area in late 2002... I even remember the exact day they turned it on: December 21st, 2002. What a great early Christmas present that was.
Oh, and by the way, it's now late 2006 and I still don't have the option of DSL where I live. I guess AT&T simply doesn't want to compete. |
