Re: More importantly
Well then Farmington Hills must be bucking the trend because our broadband access sucks big time, thanks to the bastards at Time Warner Cable. |

According to ABC news and Good Morning America, it wouldn't kill Detroit to get out from behind that PC monitor and take a walk:
"Among "fat cities," Houston ranks No. 1, followed by Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and Dallas, according to results released this morning on Good Morning America."
I wonder if there is a direct link between broadband internet users and obesity?

| They are only choosing to have competiton in cities that they have the largest customer base in. Time Warner currently charges up to $85/month for cable modems in Farmington Hill, MI. Allowing a competing ISP would mean people could get satellite for TV saving them over 20% a month and cable modems for $40/month. Time Warner can survive like that in their bigger cities, but not in clusters of just 4 suburbs. There overhead is way too high. This is why "Open Access" is a fraud. |
