While ATT is using the same old wires

11 07 2009

Doesnt that make each provider monopoly? You bet it does and heres why. The growth of broadband access is just pathetic, and maybe the FCC needs to their heads out the open and realize that there is real problem here. 5th, 2008132 am worked at SBCAT&T.

Your are also required to maintain dial tone into your home to DSL which partially subsidizes the service. Once. While AT&T is using the same old wires, they have had to make major investments in higherspeed routers and backbone fiberoptics to handle this new video traffic. Meanwhile, have been using significantly more of the available bandwidth with both audio and video streaming. Posted by KevinSBCAT&T has been among the aggressive service providers in CUTTING broadband rates. My computer doubles as both radio and TV.

Obviously, am not alone as Nielsen surveys show similar trend nationwide. 5th, 2008845 am South Korean speeds and pricing makes the US look like neanderthals in comparison. Currently, spend about 30 of my TV viewing in front of computer monitor watching programming ondemand from the major broadcasters and iTunes all for free. 5th, 2008230 pm Of course AT&T will charge less for DSL. Verizon offers dryloop as well.

Meanwhile, have been using PacBellSBCATT DSL for the last eight years and the speed has tripled, with me not asking for it, plus the price dropped 15 month. Internet traffic overall is growing by 60 each year. All in all, would rather pay 5month more for good service than pay the current rates for poor service. Competition? If there truly was competition then why is cable 40 dollars and no other providers are even close to areas already serviced?

During that time, the speed of basic cable has increased to 6Mbps and beyond. Capitalism just isnt what it used to be, and wasnt the internet designed by the military to be private network for sharing information? currently live in deadzone where its supposed to be Charter and ATT controlled but neither will provide service because it is too close to other providers.

4th, 2008733 pm Ive had SBCAT&T DSL for almost nine years. Overall returns on an AT&T stock investment during the past decade have been woefully unexciting. and computer let me watch DVDs but if can only buy one brand of each kind, that makes it monopoly. So there is my two cents, but the government really needs to wake up and smell the roses. commentsV. C. Cable companies should be smarter and know that their acquiescence will only be sign of weakness and telcos will not stop there.
