remember back on page 1 where I referenced a "last mile" problem? That's the barrier. The last mile, is the stretch however long, that makes it physically to your house. Right now Comcast is the only one with a pipe large enough with current technology. Wireless, DSL, AT&T "fiber" (in quote because it isn't really fiber) are all options, and all classified as "broadband" legally but none are enough.Yeah, your situation pretty much sucks. I'm sorry about that.
What are the barriers to entry (besides legal challenges which can be dealt with via legislation) for other ISPs to get into that market, which would seem to be ripe for competition?
Is it just laying the cables? Would "utiliziting" the cables solve that problem and leave ISPs to compete?
I am not trying to be a smart aleck here. You obviously have more expertise in the technology than I do.
The funny thing here is that although I am an outlier in 2014, the rest of you are catching up, whether you realize it or not you will be using my amounts of data soon enough (and I'll likely double that ) All that means is that this problem I am having, you will too it's just a matter of time.
