No, Craig. I tell it like it is, whereas you behave like a politician. You
invent things, to prop up your narrative, no matter how flaky and make-believe
it is. Let me know when you have more than one broadband provider for general
purpose home use, Craig. I have two. That's it. No bullsh*t wasted words about
imaginary other options.
I lived with DSL for more than a decade. I did not sit and watch
the progress bar on software updates: I just launched the update
and waited.
More BS. I lived with DSL a lot longer than you, and I could tell what happened
if one PC launched into an update, while I was trying to do something else. Let
alone streaming from more than one PC. YES! It WAS possible in the earlier
days. But not so much anymore. For one, the ads have a nasty habit of not
throttling back as much as they need to, for DSL users. No one who knows squat
about broadband service is claiming that there's plenty of competition, Craig.
This is your political agenda, absurd as most are.
What reality happened Bert is that you FINALLY decided that enough was
enough,
No, clueless Craig. Besides which, it's irrelevant. FiOS and DSL are both
Verizon anyway. My choices are Cox or Verizon. Most people have only one choice.
Just like your much-touted building codes, Craig. Without those
building codes, it would be a crap shoot. You couldn't even figure
that much out, before veering off on that tangent.
It should be obvious that the building codes were inadequate in
Puerto Rico, and Houston for that matter.
You really find it impossible to not go off on irrelevant tangents, don't you
Craig? Point is, any hope you have is with building codes that are credible and
policed. Not with your lunatic libertarian ideas of "the market takes care of
it." Many times, that won't be the case. And in this context, with complete
lack of competition, the market does not take care of anything.
That link did not prove any neutrality violations. Enough.
More political posturing. You even admitted to not having gone to the link.
Anyway, Tim Wu provided some stats on what broadband providers wanted to do, at
least back in the mid-2000s, for those like you who need the obvious to be
belabored to death.
No Bert. They are an information service as defined in the 1996 telecom
act.
Oh really, Craig? So, you don't understand the difference between providing a
search engine and providing Intern access? Interesting.
Bert
