Re: Boring
Because a company like Embarq can't afford to fiber all of BFE? To you this seems like nothing of importance... to a person who lives in a town where your stop signs have clearly been fired at with a shotgun by a drunk redneck riding in the back of a truck 10 meg HSI is big news.
You seem to think that a company can just pull a thousand miles of fiber out of some sort of black hole and then have oompa loompas go run it free of charge. People in BFE are overjoyed to get some form of HSI, especially a 10 meg connection. I've got plenty of family member who would love to see something faster than 56k.
Getting a decent speed connection to everyone is far more important than having FIOS in a few big cities. Hooray for Bob the porn surfer who can download even more porn with a 100mbit connection. Our country would be better off if everyone was wired up with a decent speed. Wiring the entire country with fiber just won't happen. America has too many rural areas. |

| Rain you obviously didn't read my post clearly. So you now your post got defensive and uptight, as a reuslt. First, I said we have cities where there are more dense populations than countries currently offering fiber. Where in my post did I say we MUST wire backwater Alaska or Rural America with fiber? A matter of fact, I made the statement towards big cities. If Embark is a small rural ISP, I stand corrected. It's a good jump. However, in terms of it still being newsworthy, it isn't. I am glad rural America is seeing fiber. Fiber does a lot to modernize a community. It entices businesses, which spur jobs and economic growth. My point here is if this country would invest in such an infrastructure, maybe it would change some stuff for the better. Sadly, this recycled news (be it good news for rural America) still doesn't add anything "technology revolutionary" to the game. |

@sprintlink.net | Much like subject, your babble has become "Boring"!! "No one reads you posts clearly", "you didn't make such bold statements"....blah, blah, blah. Obviously, you are a misunderstood individual that should play in a sandboa with other waterheads. |

| Obviously, you can't make everyone happy. So therefore, don't read what I have to say. Did someone force you to? I'm assuming no one held a gun to you and said read my posts. Therefore, please go stick a pipe in it, if you don't wish to add anything meaningful. How about them apples? |
