 | | pwices suck $191 for 100, $91 for 20?!?
Either raise the 20 up to 50 symm... or lower the damn price... that's very high, even for symmetrical in a non-northeast corridor. | |

| | | | | Re: pwices suck Sorry, that was meant for tmc8080 and not you. From your post you seem to realize that 100/100 for under $200 bucks is not a realistic price for the rest of the world. I've been quoted anywhere from $2200 to 5000 for 100/100 connections over the years. | |

| | Oh the nerve of them! "Why? The company wants to save money in order to buy additional carriers"
/sarcasm on
Oh my goodness. They can't do that! It is their civic duty to make sure that every single breathing creature has a 100/100 connection into their brain before they can ever, ever, ever think about using their money for anything else.

kudos:5 | Translation -- "we want a growth subsidy and debt forgiven" Battleop's sarcasm aside, this story could have everything to do with the idea that broadband should reach more people.
Everyone is talking about a government-led jobs and infrastructure project that includes expanding broadband penetration and adoption (along with other things). Who will own those broadband systems? Why should Surewest invest dollars wiring the last mile if it can't predict how it will turn out?
So they'll shop for systems in trouble -- which excites nobody but maybe they can get lucky and press a failing systems' creditors to cancel or restructure debt (plus government bailouts?), and move on with "no-deal" if they won't bargain.
I could be completely wrong -- economics like this is certainly not my main forte.

1 edit | Re: This is really about redlining In case you haven't noticed, fiber deployments are expensive and the financial world is in turmoil.. we're in a recession on the brink of a depression worse than your grandparents ever saw...
.. and you're worried about redlining.
I can't wait for the day that the economy is so bad that you guys come back here complaining of financial ruin and broadband gets put into perspective.
There are many reasons why areas get installed first and it's not always this "redlining" you claim. If people had their way, around here, you all would have these companies employing thousands of people so that the ENTIRE metro areas would be lit on in the same nano-second as not to call foul. | |
