Re: I agree
You dont hit bandwith limits any faster with 100 mbps than with 10mbps. If you down load 200 GB's a month on your 6 mbps line are you really telling me youll download 500 GB's on 100 mbps? You can download your content faster, but it isnt going to prompt you to download more than you do now. |

You can download your content faster, but it isnt going to prompt you to download more than you do now. That's not quite true if one downloads a lot of video content. This is especially true for high quality video feeds and movie trailers.
There are many times I find myself waiting for one download to finish so I can begin another. This cycle can continue for a couple of hours. |

Even that I can handle cooly... I can safely say I have pushed 70 GB in one day on this line. With broadband you are NOT held back, it's total FREEDOM.
I can work fine with 10mbps/1mbps line, but it wouldn't hurt to get more bandwidth to get things done faster.

I dont live in AL I live in Mass, and second Broadband should be available everywhere in this country, the government should control it or make it so everyone can get broadband, It will eventually happen that broadband will be financed by the government, Just look at the power grid, the interstate system phone lines, It will happen but It needs to happen sooner, America is behind by alot, S.KOREA= Nation wide Wireless hotspot, That'd be nearly impossible to attain in the US because fo the trees and hills and crap like that. S.KOREA government control broadband so everyone gets it, In america it could happen but we need politicians on our side, We as american have the Freedom to choose, We shouldn't be stuck on early 90s technology, or stuck with a broadband ISP who hold a monopoly. Now president Bush's statement saying all american should have broadban by 2007 Not gonna happen, unless he pushes for it, Something like that would gain Bush alot of supporters from the technology crowd, Will he push for it most likely not the monopoly Bells and Big cable companies Are signing pay checks to the Republicans, and don't think that they aren't doing this to the democrats also Alot of politicians are controled by who has the biggest paycheck. And Finally NJ is a craphole. You know why they call it the garden state? Cause the plant fields of ass along side the interstate. I WOULD NEVER LIVE IN NEW JERSEY, no offense I just dont like it there. |

AL is behind most of the country in most things. I'm not asking for OOL or anything, just a reliable 1.5/256 DSL package would be fine for now. I can wait on speed. I would rather live in AL than NJ anyday. I would move to Birmingham or Montgomery before I would move to NJ.

| Get off the communist crap! Is the interstate communist, phone nationwide telephone use? There is nothing wrong with Government directing something that affects the entire nation, especially when the "Business" sector is not doing it. As a matter of fact, it was governement that began the internet. Now as for Nj being a crap hole, well the only time I am in Nj is on my way to NyC. |

Don't go dissing on AL now. I happen to have been born and raised in Huntsville and still live there. I've also always had broadband since I was about 12 years old, cable to be specific. Not to mention Huntsville has the second largest Research Park in the U.S. We've also got Marshall Space Flight Center »www.nasa.gov/centers/marshall/ho···dex.html , Nasa, US Army Space and Missile Defense »aerospace.state.al.us/acasi/usspace.htm , Space and Rocket Center , Redstone Arsenal and the list goes on and on. And that's just for HSV.
It's quite aggrevating when people make comments about AL when most have not even been there or know what we do in fact have. We're not all running around driving pick-ups, wearing no shoes, carrying a shotgun and going to the bathroom in an outhouse.

First of all, I'd like to say, you obviously don't believe much in using periods do you? Your post is an eyesore for all the run on sentences. Second, maybe you need to move to a communist country where the government controls everything, including where you work, how much income you make, etc. You know what, I just read your post again, and decided it doesn't really deserve much more response than what I've given up til now.
Peace. |

Dude, Bellsouth offers 3MB DSL Extreme in B'ham.
Brighthouse & Charter offer 3& 5MB cable.
