| All well and good...but...
From what I understood from a friend who tried to do this under the GA provisions, BellSouth makes it nearly impossible to keep the DSL without jumping through 100 or so paper, fax, and mail hoops.
They'll find a way to make the switch as unbearable as possible for consumers.

Saint Charles, MO | At least a judge had the stones to tell them it aint a monopoly and that they gotta share and give consumers a choice. But, you KNOW they'll throw some sh** in the game so they don't really have to do it. |

| INTERNET SERVICSE ARE NOT DE-REG!!!! Only Time Warner Customers have a choice do to the merger of AOL and Time Warner. Thats how they got it! I have TWC as a cable company. Also I have Elink from them and I'm changing to RR cause with having a different company than RR the other providers answer to everything is call the local office. We don't have local offices anymore to call. we have call centers and RR support IS IN Canada. Elink always transfered me there cause they don't know what they are doing. One night I got trasfered to the Greensboro NC office for Time Warner. They have a totally different system down there then TWC cause they are split into regions. Other companies arent! |

I will agree with that if you agree that since reg doesn't apply to broadband the ILEC & cable co must negotiate compensation to each private property owner where they use easements to derive revenue from broadband. |

Guys...there is always cable ! or Satellite DSL ! I had BS until a week ago, and for the same price I have got COMCAST. I was reluctant to go to cable (especially when you know who Comcast was - AT&T and MEDIAONE here in GA.) but I have to admit: it ROCKS ! 3 MB solid -DL and 250-270 K UL ! DSL would cap me at 1.2 MB at the best. More, I have switched to VONAGE phone line (VoIP) and I am saving at least 25$ / mo. with more services than ever BS offered to me !
I do hope that one day BS will get their socialist enterprise right, and do the right thing. |
