I don't know what is more ridiculous...

.. this sale, or the people in this forum who rush to be the first with stupid idiotic comments.

"They're going to fire people".. "I know people who will quit".. "I will drop speak easy"...

Good god Mirna... get over yourselves. You think throwing out a typical generic hate comment that may or may not come true makes you look good now? or will it look better IF in the future what you say comes true.

Very few people here really know what they're talking about and it only shows the level of child like mentality of those that come here and bash something that hasn't even happened yet.

Why would you leave speak easy just because BB purchased them? Why not wait until or unless you see a reason? Maybe the service might even improve or get more competitive in price... after all they aren't the cheapest game in town.

Speak Easy does have good business follow through, but when I've worked when them (as I am a partner) on home installations, they aren't the greatest.. and their speeds have often been less that of the incumbent.

So who knows.. maybe Best Buy will improve the service and the prices might even line up a little better with others.

This.. coming from a group of people who daily cry for something new on an almost hourly basis ... living in the past?

How in the world is anything ever supposed to move forward if everything is boo'd before it's given a chance?

To be honest.. this site has lost it.. let me tell you what BBR used to be.. It used to be a place for people to get help with broadband issues.. finding services, help with problems they have that can't get resolved elsewhere..

today.. BBR is a place where a story is posted, and 5000 people can't wait to jump in and bitch about it.. sounds more like a Jewish wedding more than a discussion forum.. and believe me, I've been to enough Jewish weddings..

Everyone has a right to their opinion.. but really, why not just post a story and turn it into a poll with out comment? The comments are always the same... doesn't matter.

I don't need to base my optimism on anything.. that's ridiculous.

So what exactly IS Best Buy's "existing practices"... ? I live in the city where best buy is head quartered.. they're on every street corner here.

They have a store, the offer a product.. you enter the store, you pick out a product, you buy the product, they may offer you a magazine subscription but people think best buy is trying to infect them with the HIV virus because they are asked a question, you walk out the door.. sometimes checked, you leave. If that is SOOOOOO bad, don't shop there. You have many choices. Where's the conspiracy on THIS corporate mater? Everyone has a bigger plan, after all.

You, and others, may not like my position on things, but just as you have a right to post your view, I do to. (and there are people here that DO agree with me... I hear it all the time) And, just like me, if someone is going to post a message here, it's fair game, just like mine are.

The world is not a popularity contest.. just because there is a greater side here that likes to look for the doom and gloom in life (to them, I say seek prozac) doesn't mean that the side is always right. That's also a good reason why a true democracy is the worst form of government to have.
