Re: Another Alternative
said by rollobancher  : I really dont give if it doesnt take over cable or dsl. All i care about is if BPL can give me over a 52-kbps connection that my dial-up ISp is providing me. I really dont get you guys that already have broadband and are dissing on BPL. Dont you remember the days when you were stuck on dial-up also ???? IT SUCKS! Ever hear of satellite?? It is available now. It isn't perfect, but it is better than dial-up. Too expensive for you??

thumbs down from:

| Even if it was expensive to him. Does it matter to you? So poorer people shouldn't be allowed to have a HSI option even if it is inferior in speeds?
That makes sense. In your opinion we should keep dialcrap alive, huh? |

If you can read, I never said block BPL rollout. But it isn't going to move quickly, so satellite is an OPTION if he wants higher speeds now.

Satelite is expensive and BPL is a great idea. Just because he is stuck on dial-up doesn't give you the right to assume he is finacially unstable. |

DIRECWAY Special Offer - ONLY $59.99 Down and $99/month for 15 months, then $59/mo. after that. Includes Standard Professional Installation Both deals are cheaper for internet access if you also get DirecTV too.

@Dial1.Atl | You also fail to mention the upload/download caps for satellite users. Just because the fcc might say sattelite is broadband does not make it so. |

bpl doesn't promise more coverage at cheaper prices... where did that idea come from? |

Yea, I know that satellite is available but personally ( and others may agree with me) i don't feel like paying $500 for the satellite alone and then $60 a month for some sleazy 512/128 kbps connection. That extra $500 spent on that satellite could go to something more use-full, like the months rent, or car payment. |

Dial-up is better than DirecWay. More reliable and faster at times. |

Oh, drop the class warfare crap, it was old in the 80's.
Hey, I'd love to have a fiber optic pipe the diameter of an elephant's trunk running into my basement. Alas, I can't afford it. I remember the days when "dial up" was 300 bps into a Wildcat! Apple II BBS. |

Speeds are OK and getting better:
