I've been pushing my local cable (AT&T) and phone (Ameritech) offices to bring some form of broadband to my area. What have I gotten? Several emails back stating that 'there is no more need for broadband in your area'. All this while I watch a city less than an hour away go from 384K DSL, to 512K, and now up to 1.5M DSL...all within the past year! Seems to me the companies could solve some of this broadband divide problem by expanding their coverage instead of upgrading what they do have.
