I'm Fed Up

[mts04988]

I'm so angry I decided to rant here. My stupid Telco is so dumb and ignorant they wont give me DSL because I'm too far and I dont get any cable service because I don't know why but I don't have Cable TV and I won't get cable internet. Satellite is awfully slow and expensive and ISDN is a term my Phone company doesnt know. T1 and T3s are WAY WAY out of my price range in the $400/mo.

So I'm left to live out the remaining years of my life without broadband and I'm going to tear my hair out and die.

Just thought I'd share...

Thanks Marius and I hope your right...

Well my phone company is awful. Its Frontier...formerly Citizens. They have a stranglehold in this area where I live...It was once rural...but its not now...there are over 950-100 houses (new developments near my house). But since Frontier is the only TelCo they don't worry about competetion or try to provide us with DSL or anything else. I live in Sacramento, CA and apparently SBC or Verizon or anyone else can't come in this area. There is no competition so theres no progress. Its saddenning. But I do hope Cable comes soon...But comcast won't ever tell me...sigh ;(

Earthlink has highspeed cable and etc. (http://www.earthlink.net/home/broadband/) Or try satellite.

You could always get all the people who want broadband be they business or home to sign a petition write letters, bring it up at a local council meeting basiclly annoy the company to give it to your area, this does work in Australia at least. :D

Yeah...I don't even have Cable TV...I have no Cable running to my house...it sucks...wanna know whats worse? My 56k connects to the crappy phone lines @ 28K...not even 56 or 48k...its awful! But I will check that site out but I dunno we have no local Cable company lol. Satellite has these stupid FAP rules (Fair Access Policies) You can only download about a 2 megs before they cut ur D/L speed in half...its awfulll....ayayayayayaay I guess I should try the local council meeting...if there even is one! LOL Im screwed ;(
