Re: Sure sound like the problems with verizon dsl

Could it be the land cost in NYC is so god damned high along with the taxes they have to recoup the money somehow? Could it be that its not the cost to run the fiber that is incredibly prohibitive, its the cost of maintaining wiring centers, co-location facilities and the manpower necessary to make things work in a high priced area? Naw, its none of that. Its all corporate greed, god forbid a publicly held for profit company dare try to make a profit! OH THE HUMANITY!

Re: Sure sound like the problems with verizon dsl

Most of the Baby Bells don't want to extend DSL into under served areas as They want to be Deregulated further and want to have No Competition outside of Cable and/or Satellite(from what I've read at least), At least Verizon(ex-GTE) is doing something other than doing a Sit-down strike like a spoiled toddler, It's spending Money and putting New Infrastructure in(New Central Offices with No Co-Location), They did in the City of Hesperia where I live. But like any investment, It just takes Time, Money and some Patience.
