Brewster, WA | I can't make my own broadband The problem is, and the industry knows it, is that I cannot buy a "magical" device that generates broadband internet. Hell I can't even get one that makes slow internet.
I can have solar panels and wind generators and small hydro generators too or even spend money on petroleum fuel to generate electricity easily but you just cannot do that with the internet.
So as a utility, yes, broadband is more important than electricity.

Chillicothe, OH | Man you folks should live out here. Electric going out for weeks on end is a common occurrence.
Yet we still have the people who are amazed every time it happens.
The funny thing is that most of the time when the electric service here is out the phones still work.
Also you are forgetting the many people who work from home. Broadbands out they don't get paid and may lose their jobs.

If you have power you can have internet. As far as I know none of the satellite providers are out of service.

Depends on cloud cover...some networks (TV) where off the air. Local (storm related) power problems sent some off to. Nothing is perfect.

Isn't it sad that those that raise their right hand and swear "to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America" are usually the ones most likely to trash it. |
