I'm not very familiar with DSL as I have cable. RR's speeds are less than desireable and I'm wondering if with the u-verse AT&T's internet speeds are going to increase. If so, I'm dropping RR. Thanks for the help!! |

I thought Concord Telephone had the Monopoly there. Didnt they sell to Windstream?
How did Bellsouth/ATT get in there. Statewide Franchise? |

Hey, Heels_fan i'm assuming your location is still current. Do you know if the statewide franchise has completely passed through the house and senate yet? The Tennessean doesn't print alotta details on follow ups to the whole process, so i'm a tad lost on the progress..
The requirements for the franchise looked promising and will give hope to those thats been passed up for buildout thous far.. If noone changes the conditions at the last second, then it will be of help overall for broadband deployment in TN I believe. |

| For one, ATT was planning on using the state wide franchise to build out into the more "profitable" areas of the state(Metro-Nashville, Memphis, etc* and not pay attention to the more rural area (Bon Aqua, Soddy Daisy, Mt Pleasant, ect)*
With the compromise, ATT will now hove to build out to a certain percentage of rural areas and in a certain amount of time.
*(These cities are used just for an example and are off the top of my head) |

So the hypcocrisy of this bothers me.
If I was going to open a chain of stores, I'd be damned if the state told me that I HAD to put 30% of my stores in areas where I was guaranteed to lose money. |

Heck. If they put DSL coverage in my semi-rural area of TN, most of my neighbors wouldn't hesitate to jump on the offer. We are either stuck with satellite or EVDO. |
