 You Totally LOST YOUR CREDIBILITY!

Oh yeah caps, number one problem, WTF are you guys smoking right now? Caps are such a big problem oh no. This is like number 20. You guys are rediculous. Oh man, lets come up with random issues, Fix it right the first time, big bad problem. This don't even deserve to be in the top 50. EVERYONE HERE KNOWS THE TOP PROBLEM! You clearly don't if this is the nubmer one problem you dont deserve your position as editer. The number one problem is availability not, Caps, I'm sure everyone here would rather have caped service then dial-up. THE NUMBER ONE ISUES IS AVAILABILITY! WTF, are you smoking you moron. You really are knowledgable about broadband issues.

TYPE FAST, and this is what i get :-(

Though your delivery leaves something to be desired, you're right on about what the #1 problem is.

Caps are a big issue. I guess the big issue to me is not knowing what that cap is.

IMHO the biggest problem is availability.

Ridiculous is spelled with an I, Mr. Credibility.

And Availability appears to be addressed in complaint number four.

For a large portion of people, some sort of broadband access is available. Their point isn't invalid at all.

For those that it is available to, imagine paying for a service...then being told that you can use it. That is a very BIG problem. Everyone makes fun of AOL and how they, effectively, wall off the "real Internet", yet, major broadband ISP's are doing just that.

Instead of giving you enough to do within their own domain (as AOL does), they will cut you off when you actually try to use your connection.

Liken this to your parents telling you to play in your big backyard with a swingset and pool (AOL) and the "Truman Show". With AOL you know what your limits are, and when you grow up you can play elsewhere. With caps and throttling, the big, broadband world looks huge...then your boat hits the wall.

Although I think you're a little too upset...:D

I agree the number one problem is availability. I am very interested why it didn't make the top ten on BBR?????????

Someone needs a Valium. I do agree that caps aren't that big a deal. If you don't have any broadband options than you really don't give a rat's ass about capping or anything else in the top 10.

May I might suggest spell check before posting next time. Thanks for laugh. PARTY ON!

Shut it. Availabilty is braodband number one issue. It didn't even make the top ten list, thats kinda bullsh1t. Naked DSL made the top ten list, Wow naked DSL, who cares atleast you can get it. You guys take your connections for granted, and start bitching about how "SLOW" your speeds are, CAPS, the price of broadband. Get a grip. Those of us still on 56k, would gladly take your connection with a cap, or $50 cable. Stop being a cry baby, while you may pay $30-$50 for you broadband some are paying $1,000 for T1, or $90 for ISDN. And also, I thought BBR was for all "Internet Enthuseist", Broadband users and Broadband hopefuls. It's kinda B.S. how availability, didn't make the top ten.

Try reading #4: »US Broadband Industry, Are You Listening?

It states pretty much that they need to deploy. Oh wait, I forgot, you're a 14-year-old crybaby who can't play in a 300-500ms ping. Please, I used to play in 700ms ping in Tribes where the entire game was server-side based, and I was still considered a pretty good player.

Stop whining and deal with it. You'll get your broadband in due time. Granted, 56k sucks, but it's better than no internet whatsoever. Meanwhile, explore other options, such as Satellite, ISDN, Wireless, multi-link, etc. If there are enough people around you, you may be able to break even with getting a fractional T1 and providing wireless internet to those around you.
