Re: Makes sense

With regards to cable outpacing dsl, in San Diego I'd think that there are many more cable subscribers than dsl just because there are two strong companies who split up the county TW and Cox. However, in Long Beach ( a city of ~500k) I didn't know a single person who had cable, everyone who had broadband had dsl. I'm not exactly sure of the reasons but I know LA was fighting with its cable company all the time.

Re: Makes sense

LOL I bet if you split San Diego in half, North County would probably be 90% cable, 10% DSL, whereas the city itself probably is around 60% DSL / 40 % Cable..

Why? North County = RURAL.. LOL

Of course, SBC has added a ton of remote terminals, at least in Carlsbad and Encinitas. But they're too late, especially considering the fact that gee, let's see.. I want to pay a) $39.99 a month for 1500/128 with DSL, or $39.99 a month for 2000/256 with cable? Go fig!

That's because Charter hasn't rolled out cable internet in large parts of Long Beach. They say they're working on it, but they've been saying that for over a year.

Re: Makes sense

Well I havn't lived in the (North) Long Beach (Dominguez, Long Beach zip code & Part of Carson, CA) area in years, But where I currently live in Hesperia, CA. Charter Pipeline users most likely out number any and all DSL users as their is only one CO in Hesperia (Hesperia is ALL Rural) and Verizon says no DSL for those near or beyond the 3 mile mark from the CO. Hesperia is Big enough to have Multiple CO structures, But Verizon wouldn't do that, Nor will They invest money like Charter did, If you are near or beyond 3 miles from the CO, Verizon offers only expensive ($$$.$$) and un-regulated ISDN, Can You say Cash-Cow(Mooo)??? So at least in this area Verizon sucks and Charter Pipeline rules.....

CompanIES...

That said, nearly all of the fighting has been with Adelphia; TWC in the San Fernando Valley and MediaOne->AT&T->Comcast in parts of the city near Compton and Culver City have provided cable modem service for years.
