| If the dsl companies push too hard,
the cable companies will soon all have speeds like OOL.  . I think we have seen a lot of progress in the US Broadband market in the past 6 months. Maybe in 5 years we will have reached the QoS that Japan has now. |

I sure hope I can re-rate and up my speeds because I'll be jumping in the faster lane for sure. I'm just glad I don't have Charter...overpriced. I'm happy with my dish tv.
Now we just need some faster upload!

3 edits | Less robust caps...
Keep on Roberts...no point in multi-megabit CAPPED services including your joke of a usenet offering. More robust my ass. While offering slightly higher speed (since here in SoCal they haven't rolled out speed increases), Comcast offers a substantially higher price and giant 30+% penalties for those not wanting crappy CATV service.
Thanks but no thanks. I cancelled CC and went to VoL the second they deployed...for 1/2 the price, 10 times the features and I'm not missing a robust anything except the fat monthly CC bill which between HSI and a 3rd party usenet subscription since CC has a 1GB cap on news was over $60/mo even without their non-CATV sub penalties.

Re: Faster
DSL and Cable Companies can offer 1000mbits and we'll end up spending 10 mins online...Why? More and More Broadband companies are setting up Download/upload caps... It takes about 2 hours to download 1 gig of a divx movie on cable here...You can't watch many hours of divx movies online with that kind of download caps. Alot of people had their cable accounts cancelled for exceeding the download/upload caps... All this speed increase is just hype....

...but SBC will offer the 1.5 -6 package for $44.95 starting on 2/2. ...upto 9000 feet from CO or RT.
There is no 3MB package. SBC service level for the 6MB package is 3MB. If you get less than 3, you can complain and they will bump you back to the the 1.5 package at the 1.5 price....anything over 3 and you meet their standard for the $44.95 1.5 - 6 package.
The $26.95 package will go back to $29.95.

I think I will stick to my 8000 down and 992 up with Optimum which has only been out 2 times in the almost 3 years I have had it. I went thru the whole SBC deal and it had more down times then it had up times. And all the speed on Optimum is only $44.95 .... Optimum ROCKS!!!! |

The package you on is 384-1.5...so if you're getting higher than 384, you meet the service level standard for SBC.

I'd keep Optimum too. But in my area that is not an option. It's SBC or Comcrap. It's kinda' like picking between getting your arm chopped off or losing an eye....I'd like to pick neither. But SBC is lesser of the two evils....atleast for broadband.
