Re: Consumer Reports

Unfair? How?

This is a comparison of broadband providers. Directway IS available anyplace cable modems/dsl is available, so needs to be compared to them.

i.e. I can get cable/dsl or directway where I am. After reading this article, I would never even consider directway over the other options. It IS a bashing of directway, but it's correct for two reasons:

#1: If you have a choice between directway and cable or dsl, you would be a fool to choose directway

#2: Just because directway is your only choice, doesn't mean that it still doesn't suck.

bottom line: directway sucks. sure, sometimes it's the least suckiest option of sucky options, but it still sucks. The fact remains, it sucks, and the review is fair in saying that it sucks. Complaining that it's unfair doesn't change the fact that it sucks.
