Re: LOL WUT
What do you mean San Antone isnt in the middle of no where? I mean, its not like you guys have a few major theme parks, a major sports franchise, a major military base(?), Sea World, The Alamo, etc.
Oh, wait...
Seriously though, I just moved to Huntsville, AL, supposedly one of the largest concentrations of engineers and high tech business/manufacturing in the country, and the best I can get out of CC is 8/1. I would think with all the high tech jobs here we'd be getting some of CC's better plans, but then again, at least its 8/1. (And yes, 8/1 is enough for my household, its just that if there were higher tiers, I'd probably pay less for my 8/1)

| When 3/256 was the highest, it was $60 mo, and 1.5/256 was like $50 or so. Then when they went to 6/768 as the highest, they priced it at $60 and moved the 3/256 down to the $50. (Prices are a guess, I cant remember what the exact cost was 5yrs ago)
Though you do have a point, when we signed up for service after we moved, the 8/1 is ~$70mo where as the 6/768 is ~$60mo, and when I lived in Panama City, the 6/768 was ~$60mo. I was just hoping they would continue the previous trend of replacing the previous highest speed with the new highest speed at the same price point.

| You're talking about a moving target though. Comcast's middle of the road offering (the one they advertise on TV, print, etc.) has been in the $40-45 range for as long as I can remember around here, and I've seen similar price points in many other US markets. |

Where i live, everything is around us. The AT&T center is less then 5 miles away from my house, Alot of neighborhoods and all the stores like walmart, gamestop, subway, jack in the b0x, gas stations, and m0ar are like 3 miles away. We got some land with cattle and their is an officer there, Its like 2 miles away and they get time warner cable but what do we get, Power and plain old telephone. I talked to that att guy today and he said he dont know when dsl will be out here. I guess ill just have to wait and look outside every morning and look for some new lines on the telephone pole out on the road........ |
