Soon, Cable and DSL will be out and considered too slow. It's really going to happen, because as more and more sites demand faster connections, people won't want to wait 10 minutes to download that comedy sketch on YouTube.
I think the band Pussycat Dolls must have helped the increase in Broadband adoption...after all, they are my favorite broad band and they seem to be extremely popular.
he was saying uncapped not super fast. what he meant was taking the bandwidth restrictions off and letting us send as fast as the cable and the equipment would allow. there are problems with that tho. to get to my neighbor with same isp my packets get routed in Texas and sent back (i live in misouri) so even for uncapping locally they still would have to upgrade there major runs any way. with they should. i mean it is heavily subsidized to run new cable any way.
When are they going to focus on Rural? It's really the only untapped broadband market out there. My parents are using satellite and it suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks for $60/month. They would pay premium for hispeed if it was offered. Wire the great outdoors!
I recently switched from comcast to AT&T recently b/c of the low price (17.99). Im getting 1.7 MB from ATT and was only getting around 2-2.5 from comcast when the line wasnt busy. So it was an easy decision.It seems most americans are doing the same by switching over but it still looks like Cable internet still has 50 percent of the marketshare.Of course im still waiting for Google WiFI to save me from these telecom companies
am doing my part to keep that rate highI tell everyone who using dial - to switch to Broadbandthe cost of paying for a separate line and Dial up fees - is about equal to basic dsl/ cable serviceI just help an elderly lady today - move from dial-up to Atlantic Broadbandwww.irienetworks.com
