Re: more 10 Meg rumors
said by Fox McCloud  :$65? Ouch; I was hoping they'd make 10/1 $55, 5/768 $45, 3 meg $35, 1.5 meg $25 and 768k $15....doesn't look like that's going to happen. I *think* it depends on your area and the competition. Where I am, Embarq pegs prices close to Comcast offerings (their main competitor): I pay $45 for the 3000 tier, and that's around $10 less than Comcast charges for naked HSI service, which I believe is 6000.
However, I know people that pay $35 for the 3000 tier in another area where there are more competitors. I don't know whether Comcast is one of them.

said by bctrainers :said by TScheisskopf :Ditto on the ouch. That will hardly be competitive with Comcast in these parts. Would be nice if they went ahead and put in vDSL or whatever that new technology is named... I'd get that faster than anything else!  I'll second that; I live under 5000 feet from a fiber fed RT, so the speeds I could get would be amazing....sadly, I think DSL Tech said that Embarq has no current plans to deploy VDSL at RT's; only the central office (of course, he said you probably wouldn't expect to see higher speeds from it either; they'd use most of the bandwidth for IPTV).
Either way, we can use port bonding with ADSL2+, so we could theoretically have speeds asymmetrical speeds that are on par with Verizon's FiOS. |
