G+_George Kozi Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Just putin' this here. Mike Elgan One can say a lot of things about Europe, but this AT&T stuff would NEVER be allowed here. We have regulations that prevent this kind of things. This is exactly why we don't like monopolies.

G+_Elizabeth Whitmire Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 It's like they don't understand the difference between Mbps and Gbps. Someone needs to go back to school for a wake up call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eng. Jorge Santana Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Not to mention that their 6mbps is actually 3mbps ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brian Covey Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Is DSL still allowed to call itself "Broadband"? I hear DSL shills calling various DSL services "High Speed Broadband for $15 a month" and I wonder how they are able to call themselves "High speed" or "Broadband". What is the fastest DSL connection available? In my mind... Saying you offer "High Speed DSL" is like saying... "Our 14.4 modem can double to 28.8 in many circumstances for the fastest DIALUP available"! ... Hey, it's still a MODEM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Douglas Jenkins Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 charlie white from an 11/28 update to this article http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bruce-kushnick/attsredactedto-the-fccs-r_b_6237276.html Amusingly, according to Re/code and others, last week AT&T stated that it was only kidding about not doing the fiber deployment. Re/code's headline says it all "AT&T Says It Still Plans to Expand High-Speed Internet in DirecTV Acquisition." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jean-Pierre White Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 The article put words in AT&T's mouth. AT&T's official comment is “Any decision made by the KCC could impact AT&T’s business operations in the area, which is why we asked to intervene in the proceeding,” In other words, we can't compete with 1GBP internet service so we will try and stop you building it. AT&T are very aware of the difference between 6 MBPS and 1 GBPS, that's why they want to stop it!! Can anyone spell anti-trust? We wouldn't need net neutrality legislation if there were healthy competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
