| Re: Hmm said by GunnarDanne  :2011... I think Verizon will have most of their fiber out by then. I could be wrong though. I probably will be wrong. Verizon isn't everyone's telephone company though. So for those of us in SBC AT&T BellSouth territories you will need to roll the date out a little say to about 2020ish.

Columbus, OH | Re: Hmm Exactly. The idea that there's competition for a lot of the country is laughable. I live in the middle of a metro area with over a million people. I can't get DSL. Literally.
That's all I need to know about my options. Cable it is. | |

hehe, like i care i still have the same DSL from last century...on the other hand i was able to get it in 1997 so that was good 
Of course that means comcast knows they have little competition here so they suck too price wise at least  | |

| Re: Hmm How about living in an area that had NO form of broadband until late 2002? I live over five miles from my town's central office, which SNET->SBC->AT&T deployed there in the mid to late 90's. They said they would "eventually" get around to installing the DSL equipment on the remote terminal in my area. Simply put, I waited for over five or six years for them to install the equipment.
To make a long story short, I languished on 56k speeds for years waiting for AT&T. Comcast FINALLY brought HSI to the area in late 2002... I even remember the exact day they turned it on: December 21st, 2002. What a great early Christmas present that was.
Oh, and by the way, it's now late 2006 and I still don't have the option of DSL where I live. I guess AT&T simply doesn't want to compete. | |
