| Why I support UTOPIA
I live in a non-pledging UTOPIA city, so the UTOPIA network will not be deployed to my home until 2008 or 2009.
Before building the house, I called both Comcast and Qwest, and they both said they served my home with high-speed Internet.
So I called Comcast a month ago -- they sent out a worker, and he said AT&T cable had failed to spend $100 to extend the conduit to my home when the street was laid in 1999 because all they cared about was being purchased on Wall Street, so I can't get Comcast.
So I called Qwest. They said they could offer me DSL - at a maximum speed of 256 Kbps.
256 Kbps is NOT BROADBAND -- ITS THE DARK AGES. |

| Option 1(the best option)
Run the line yourself, but make it look professional, but just leave the line laying right outside of their cable node box. Then call them up and say your line has been disconnected and you see it laying next to their box.
(if you have to crack open the street, just do it, then replace where your ripped up with gravel)
Option 2
Pay your closest neighbor per month to get it and set up a WAP secure wireless link to your house with 2 wrt54g's and some high gain antennas or directional antennas.
Option 3
Get wild blue satellite internet, I have heard good things about them. |
