Re: Celebrate the freedom of choice

A company's decision to remain on dial up is more often than not a "choice" as a source of broadband is present in the vast majority of markets.

Even fractional T-1 isn't cost prohibitive to business, even small business who have such a need for a quicker connection. Especially in SoCal...as far as COB go, broadband, even fractional T-1 priced broadband is near the bottom of the list.

It's consumer (residential and business) choice that has us 11th. It seems to me Americans simply don't have the need for speed. For communictations and entertainment, we (both residential and business) have so many choices that HSI loses priority, even at $26.95 price points.

Oh, we have the need for speed. But when some actually use it, they get hit with invisible caps.

With who Comcast...Cox...who else. Not SBC, not Verizon, not a vast majority of providers. Sure, while their TOS may leave the door open, few providers are actually enforcing download limits.
