Re: Great but...

Exactly. I'm too far from the local CO for DSL. Cable is on my street, but 1/2 mile away in one direction and 1/4 mile away in the other. My neighbors and I signed a petition asking for cable and that we would all pay the cost of the cable runs along the street and to our homes. Those requests have been ignored...not even a one-word response.

Cable and phone companies continue to ignore areas...look at Verizon's cherry-picking for their FIOS deployment areas...areas that already have DSL and cable service. Why not use FIOS to get those without any broadband connected first? Why won't the cable company lay it's namesake on my part of the street?

As for their promises..phone companies make promises all the time to big brother so they can complete their deal/rate hike, etc. Yet they mostly break those promises with no action from big brother. Verizon did it to PA a few years ago. I don't have any faith in AT&T.

Bangor, MI		 You need to go down the street and setup a wireless link with one of the homes with service. That's what I had to do.

ATT should just set up a bunch of wireless repeaters to some fiber connection near the CO + RADIUS.. rather than some 99$ modem, why not a wifi card of some sort..
