"Next-Generation". In other parts of the world fiber was "last generation". Yay for us. |

Here, my choices are Charter Residential, and Charter Business. That's right, I can't even get 768k DSL.
OK, so I guess I could get T1 (single or bonded), but that price tag is a bit steep...
As a result, the only money AT&T gets from me is for POTS. |

Here's another thing that's funny. In my county, in a smaller town (Highland, IL) that's a ways away, Verizon is the phone company. Yes, a different phone company even in the same county. Yet, no DSL there. It's also a reasonably wealthy town, filled with residents who aren't so happy with Charter and can more than afford DSL.
Awhile back, I heard something about Highland maybe wanting to build their own fiber network. I'm not sure what happened to that. Maybe Verizon spent money on suing them instead of spending that money on rolling out at least DSL if not FIOS. |
