Thanks. Perhaps I will have to revisit my opinion of community internet service. However, if you recall those looking to provide gigabit service were looking at $100 a month or more.
A typical OP home looking to stream video can probably get by with 25 to 50 mbps service and 1000 total download per month. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: RE the opa negotiations with comcast: same s*** different name. all cable tv companies are required to buy programming in packages. if they want to sell us espn, they also must also sell us nonsensical shows like 'here comes honey-bob boo' or 'the real housewives of snowhill'. just the nature of the beast. so we 'cut the tv cord' but still need internet, and the cable companies ain't stupid . . . they raise the internet price. solution: community wide internet, available to everyone as part of our assessments. sure, assessments may go up a little, but it would be a heck of a lot cheaper than individual accounts with a cable company. everything and anything is available on-line, you can subscribe to the networks you want and only the networks you want. community wide internet is not a new concept (for example Click Here ) it is being done by HOA's and cities. it is at least something that the gm should be tasked to looking into. as joe points out, cable is ridiculously expensive, and i would add it is ridiculously expensive for a service that sells us a lot of crap that we don't need or want. and as the cable companies lose customers, they charge their existing and new customers more to make up the difference. steve lind |
