Chicago, IL | 30mbps cable
Cable is now offering super fast 30mbps cable and for the same price as att offers 18mbps. There is no competition on the high end side of things.
att has always been the K-mart of telcom. |

Thanks, Randall. At what point after this phrase do you return to your previously scheduled bullshit? Just so we're clear.

Re: 30mbps cable
Hmmm, capped service or uncapped service? Even Comcast with their 250g cap is low. At&t will probably cap its non u-verse customers who have only dsl service and pots. I have been saying for years now that video streaming will catch on and over take caps. These companies like Comcast are catching on to the fact that people like myself actually use the connection to stream video. For those that say, you must be doing other things if you are reaching the caps like illegal P2P, that is a load of horse shit. More and more sites like Hulu are popping up now and more and more video will compete directly with some ISP's other service such as cable television. Since some companies internet service is directly competing with its television service. Guess what happens? Caps, that's right, let me say it again, CAPS. Do you think these companies actually like competition? Look at the way they react now with any such suggestion that there is a monopoly or duopoly. Now guess how they react when one of its own services starts to compete with another of its services. Caps, caps, caps, caps....... Until there is true competition consumers will suffer. I say its time for the justice departments antitrust division to break these companies up so different companies offer separate services.

Nobody is offering 30Mbps, and U-Verse is just starting to hit the area. Unless you are in a large market you don't get the high end speeds yet. |

Re: 30mbps cable
AT&T is testing caps in Beaumont and Reno. 150 GB max, including 18 Mbps U-Verse. 250GB on Comcast simply rules out online backup in high-end cases. 150 OTOH...meh! |

Re: 30mbps cable
If at&t is the K-Mart of telecom, then cable is the Big Lots of telecom considering the awesome shape most cableco plant is in. This is especially true from the network management side. Telcos typically have better managed networks than cable. |

Yeah I bet, just like they have been on the verge since the 60s... just like india and pakistan amirite? It's sensational bs and you should know better by now.
"You know it... I'd just love to live in Asia with their overcrowded cities."
Yeah... right... erm that excuse kinda got thrown out the door in 1999 don't you think? After all, our crowded cities still have the same over priced CRAPPY internet options.
Neither geography nor technology limits the internet in America. Only GREED. |

| $19.95 is for dry loop DSL
I ordered the AT&T offer for $19.95 and it was for those of us without home phone service so that makes it a MUCH BETTER deal than $14.95 with a home phone. They have botched the installation so far, so I have to wait another week for them to try again. I do not know how much in the way of fees they will be charging in Ohio. |

Re: 30mbps cable
I am in El Paso and pay $40 for 6Mbps dry loop from ATT. But I only achieve 5.2Mbps at best. We TWC but their support disappointed me several times and I had to switch. TWC offers 7Mbps for $44.95 in El Paso. These are the only two choices I have here, but I should not complain and think about those in rural America. |
