said by ejyoungone:well, buffalo and surrounding TWC area's have had wideband for like 2 years before us since there is no fios competition in rochester...sounds like a monopoly to me :|
No. This is not a monopoly. There are still other choices such as Frontier and Clear and the other wireless carriers. Frontier remains a competitor, although a very weak competitor. However, I fail to see how they are going to remain a viable company into the future unless they get their collective heads out of their butts. I myself have checked into Clear recently. Seems that we would see the 4G coverage here in my neighborhood, but only 3 to 6 meg downloads are guaranteed and 1 meg uploads. I think that they would be probably a more attractive option than Frontier DSL at this time.
