Re: Great, but what he fails to mention..
said by Alpine  :That's also not true. I know at least three or four people personally that CAN get 3.0+, but just need the 1.5. Actually, what he said about people not being able to get 3.0 or 6.0 is very true, get your facts straight before you try to shoot someone else down. If you had bothered to check the Bellsouth forum, you could find plenty of people who have only 1.5 service from Bellsouth and can't upgrade because of loop length and fibre in their loop.
The fact that you know people who didn't opt for 3.0 or 6.0 doesn't change the fact that there are people that can't get 3.0 or 6.0 for many, any reasons...
Please, if you're going to get diarrhea of the mouth, at least come up with something original. Take you own advice...

| No, no. He quoted the BellSouth guy saying that 30% of their customers are on 3.0+. Then he said that all of the other 70% of people aren't on 3.0+ because they can't get it. That implies that every single person that CAN get 3.0+ actually HAS 3.0+ and that everyone who DOESN'T have 3.0+ CAN'T get it.
Obviously not true. There are plenty of people on "Lite" and 1.5 that could get 3.0+. If there are people that can get the faster tier but decide not to (which there clearly are,) then his statement is clearly false.
Too much logic for you? Time to lay off the absinthe?

Well, not statistics, more along the lines of arm-chair mathematics. Well, to his credit, while his mathematics are quite bad, his statement that there are plenty of users who don't qualify still holds plenty of water. As I've said, there are many a user out there who can't get the faster classes of service from Bellsouth. The entire neighborhood that I reside in is too far from the CO for anything faster than 1.5 and Lite.

If there are people that can get the faster tier but decide not to (which there clearly are,) then his statement is clearly false. And your statement is also falsified by the fact that there are people who want to get the faster service but aren't able to because of infrastructure issues...
The statements aren't mutually exclusive of each other. While people may not choose to go with faster speeds, in many cases, subscribers don't have the option to go with those faster speeds.
Supposedly Bellsouth is "working" on that. Users will believe it when they see something come of it.

As for the logic, careful there sonny, you'll be beat.
