I don't work for them. I just take a lot of digital photos.
Not really. Current camera technology can't provide full detail at 1920 pixels yet. We'll be there at some point, but not today.
Especially after you throw the encoding/decoding and relatively heavy compression most HD signals encounter at the encoding side, you get nowhere near 1920 pixels.
Amen. I've a symetric 784K line w/3 static IPs from them for cheap $$$. But their support is nonexistant. Terrible. Hideous. Profoundly lackinging anything near support.
Basically, when it works, it's great. On the very rare case that the line goes down, it's a hideous hair-loosing experience to get the problem corrected.
There often is something else at play. Many people who own non-mainstream hardware like the Alpha or use odd-ball or marginalized operating systems like NetBSD do so for emotional rather than pragmatic reasons. It is what we refer to as the weirdo factor.
I don't think NASA takes its business lightly. They certainly didn't when they chose to use NetBSD/alpha on a number of their systems.
Hey - that's how it goes. Provider points at carrier. Carrier says "there's nothing wrong here - check provider." Provider says "there's nothing wrong here - check carrier." And in the mean time Bell Atlantic [oops - I mean the carrier:-] has fixed the "non-existant" problem, and the provider says "hey - there's no problem here - you're nuts!"
It's happened time and time again. I'm in the financial markets, and the rule is that we don't accept line installs before 4:30PM EST (until the major markets are closed). I've had Bell Atlantic agents yell at me when I refused them early entry. In general, most RBOCs are terrible, from a professional standpoint and an ethical standpoint.
The only beef I have with them is what they've done with their TOS. Changing the contract _after_ the units have been sold is a bad mistake, IMHO. If they needed to change their agreements, then it should be done professionally, honoring their previous sales. It's bad business to do otherwise.

Do some research. See that http://www.wilhelm-research.com/ does have such tests, and has for quite a while:

But we all still pay our monthly phone bill...
