Re: You probably

Steve,

Please cut the crap about it reflecting our educational system. Maybe if parents DID THEIR JOBS and properly raised their unwanted offpsring, teachers wouldn't have such an uphill battle. Teachers can only do so much during the day. You got 30 students needing constant attention. Therefore, one on one time is often quite limited. As a result, it's a parent's job (or so you'd think), to assist their child with homework and reinforce the content that was learned that day. Not to mention, a parent should ALSO be teaching his or her child other skills as well. Consequently, don't blame the schools, because parents don't want to take responsibility. Society begins at home, and only flows over to the schools. This is not a vice versa type situation.

As per the topic at hand, I'd be amazed to see what homes can actually receive 100mbit and whether or not this is full duplex. Also, what does this study define as fiber? In my opinion, fiber is symmetrical and is no less than 10mbit bidirectional (up and down). Therefore, unless this study clarifies or explains how it reached its figures, I am highly suspicious of the data provided. Finally, how did they collect this information and make said determinations on fiber availability? Did they use ISP Maps (which are mostly crap) or actually investigate areas firsthand? These are serious questions I would need answered before believing this report or its results. Any study can claim anything it wants. I would love to know if this is hard data or one of those fudged facts type deals.

I agree, were being dumbed down.
The parents are working two to three jobs thanks to us wanting lower prices and the fucking outsourcing "made in china" crap.

and my input on this, I doubt if Fort Walton Beach area will ever see those speeds. New Orleans is getting T1 upspeeds now (gurr)

I hope some miracle happens and we get 5 megs up..
