Cox/BS = BULLYs

Bellsouth promised the people of Lafayette DSL/ADSL by the end of 1999. 6 Years later my part of town, Eraste Landry still does not have DSL. The best connection rate Bellsouth could offer me for my area was a whopping 28.8 dialup for 20 bucks a month. Funny thing is Cox Comm. is able to provide me Highspeed via cable.
I would love to see the city get into the market. At least would we see an even deployment of technology throughout the city and not just certain areas.

I live by OLOL, and that's the ONLY reason my neighborhood has DSL. I cut the cord with BS last March, went cellular & cablemodem through Cox, not that they're any better. The second LUS runs FTTH, I'll sign up.

I know this is a flawed analogy, but every time I've had an issue with utilities, LUS service has been quick, courteous & professional. I had my water meter fail last year, flooding my yard. 1 call to LUS, and the truck was there in less than 20 minutes. They fixed the leak and gave me nearly $100 in credit for the wasted water. Last time I had to contact BS, it took them 1 week, 6 phone calls & 3 truck rolls to correct a problem I had diagnosed before I called.

BS doesn't care about running high-speed to residential customers. All they care about is the profit margin from their commercial high-speed accounts.
