It would be better to see them use that money to improve service" So why is anyone (Dave) buying their service? I'm buying their service because it's the best service I can get here. (and it's significantly better than the best I could get in either Florida or DC, at least when I lived there) And it's cheaper by about 30% than what I had in Florida, though that was not a consideration, as my connectivity is my livelihood. As a bonus, for that 30% discount, I have more than twice the bandwidth and far, far better reliability. (I was on Sprint business class in Florida) Eeeek. Sprint! The horror... I am 100% happy with Comcast Business. They are a class act. (with the exception of that routing hole, which I will investigate!) Please keep in mind that this is NOT the same organization, business model, or staff as the consumer-grade shared cable network service. (There's fiber to the pole outside my building!) You've just reminded me...a bunch of the fibre AT&T put down in the '80s...why is a lot of it still dark? -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA Hello! That? It was supposed to be rolled into two things, I believe it might have been part of a long distance roll out, and even fast Internet access for those specialty houses. And guess who bought access to a lot of it? ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
