| Why are "all of the people"... ...such a qualification for success? Millions don't have access to cable TV or marginally reliable cellular coverage, either. Where's your righteous indignation about that?
Verizon and their ilk are certainly not blameless, and may be money-grubbing corporate whores, but they are businesses and are entitled to make whatever money they can in this "deregulated" environment.
And..."...the carrier's network will have cost it about $1,360 per customer served. Supposing one third of Keller's population does subscribe to FTTP services at the $45 monthly rate, Verizon would take about two-and-a-half years to make its money back..."??? Two and a half years is pretty damn good on a large infrastructure investment. If this was a start-up, speculators would be killing each other to acquire stock. Is this really a news story or just more rousing of the front-page rabble in the name of "buzz"?

| Well, they lost my dsl account two months ago and they were an a$$ hair away from taking the voice service away too, damn customer service have you on hold 30 mins to disconnet service, no way..If it you wanted service and it was technically possible, they'd be there in a fraction of a second, but look to take money away and all of a sudden customer service representatives are all busy.. Oh, you mean dsl accounts are being canceled in droves, or it really does take 1/2 hour to reach canadian or india for customer service 'retention department.. If fiber is anything like DSL I'd rather co-op the town and get municipal deployment...It reminds me of that song
"Never gonna get it, never gonna get it...
never get it, never get it. woo woo woo woo!" | |
