Broadband's power-line push

That's easy to say if you already have BB service: I live just 30 miles outside Raleigh, the NC state capitol, and the only bb service available to me is one that you didn't mention, satellite. And forgive me, but at twice the monthly cost and buying the equipment up front, I wouldn't call it competitive or affordable. The reason I don't have DSL is because my local phone company, Spr**t, won't get off their big pocket book and install some new technology. I would love for BPL to get to my area and get a VOIP phone and dump those losers. I pay $40 a month for basic phone service and I can't even get a reasonable answer from them about DSL service.

By the way, if you think the AARL website is presenting an impartial view of this topic, think again.; Posted by: krcgman Posted on: 08/26/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
