AT&T?s McElfresh defends wireless price increase

Not a huge fan of AT&T, even though I am a fiber and wireless customer because they offer the best service where I live, but I thought this was the most interesting thing from this article:

"AT&T is not as bullish about fixed wireless access (FWA) as T-Mobile and Verizon, and it boils down to physics, according to McElfresh.

“We know that the physics of fixed wireless cannot serve the demand” for what a household or business is looking for when it comes to high-quality broadband connectivity, he said. Uplink is becoming more important, and the only technology that offers a great experience is a fiber-fed network."

Physics is a bitch.

'Robust' broadband choice squashes need for regulation, says trade group

Right... This is why I have a whopping ONE cable company that's allowed to service my area.

There's also Frontier, but I've heard a lot of complaints about them and they have a bunch of hidden fees ($3 for paper bills???) and requirements (like auto-pay) that make it unsuitable for me.

I guess I could get satellite service and pay even more.

Yeah, lots of "robust" competition...
