Re: Another Alternative

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.

$100 for install; $100/mo 1st year; $60/mo after 1st yr.

Or »www.rapidsatellite.com/SearchRes···oryID=43
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.

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.

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.
