Except you are using the theoretical limit, not the actual limit of the pipe. When did you ever download something at 10megs? Also what area are you in, I would love to get their 10m service for that little.
First of all Fatality is not considered broadband, mainly due to its upload speeds, and its latency causes havoc with most speed sensitive applications such as gaming. Secondly DSL is not available in a large portion of rural areas that TWC services in some of these states.
Remember this company is not just doing this in your own town.
As for price, just look at the rest of the world, or look at the evidence that has been provided in this thread.. The cost to maintain the network has decreased year over year, not increased, even with the consumption increasing year over year.
So where exactly do you work? I want to know becuase I would like to steer away from your products for fear of liability over you using nonlicensed work.
The point he was making and where you are incorrect on is that the slogan, at least since nov 1998 as has been pointed out, is "News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters" not "News for Nerds on the Stuff that Matters".
All companies in this sphere has large turnovers. It is a very competitive market. When people see deals they do not read the fine print and just jump to the deal, then when it turns out to not be true they just jump to the next ship.
If it was really bad service they would see it at higher then just 2.5%
That could be put to everyone. Google competes with time warner of time warners lines. ATT delivers phone trafic to Verison customers on Verison lines.
The ncsoft comment shows this for the troll that it is. NCSoft games are the biggest grind fests, even more so then EQ1 and Vanguard.
Also if the parents just dont get it they need to hurry up and get it, as it is their responsibility to relate to their kids and regulate them not society as a whole. I mean personal responsibility and all here please.
Maybe you want to change states, or get emancipated? In my state it is very easy to get a work permit at 14, and most laws do not even cover farming work. the laws can limit you to 18 hours at 14 and 15 during school weeks, however if your parents can not support you at that age there is a problem. There is no reason a 14 or 15 year old should need to work more then 18 hours a week while attending school.
This sort of protection should be done by the parents, but then again most parents now a days want to blame everyone else but themselves for the problems with their kids. US already has laws to prevent kids from buying games with mature ratings, as in with beer.
Last I checked this is not true. The only laws similar to this limit what time kids can be out at night, however provide exemptions for workers with the exception to a law that minors can not work after 10 or 11 pm on school nights.
No, you get bonus XP if you log out to rest for a period of time, as long as you were not max level. At no point would a person with normal xp gain drop if you played for x number of hours.
That is just an excuse for people with little to no self control. People play these games because they want to. If the situation occurs that you mentioned that that individual has deeper underling issues then this game has cause. I have been an avid MMO player for about 13 years. I am not addicted to a game. I hop around and play these games, yet I also have an active social life.
Dont blame the games for your lack of self control.
But this is an issue that should be regulated by their parents not their government. If parents are being so poor with decisions as to allow their kids to play 8 hours of games a day they should look at some sort of ways to get those kids away from those parents as it is obvious that they care little, or into a way to let families have more time together then working those parents to death.
Yes because gaming causes your brain function to deteriorate so that you can not make proper decisions for a number of hours afterwards right?
The only issue with gaming is when parents do not instruct kids in the difference between right and wrong, or reality and imaginary worlds. Drugs, which alcohol is a member of, actually modifies your behavior, and dexterity making you dangerous to be around in certain events, which while drinking you have less ability to rationalize and prevent yourself from doing.
I am not a nazi anti drinker, it does need to be regulated however.
By that logic should verison not have to pay vonage for using vonages network? Should ATT not have to pay verison and so forth? Telephone carriers do not have a duty to make a profit to maintain the network, that would come out of the income way before profit is declared.
well then I apologize if you dont work there but the corrections I gave are still true.
Tax break? how about they are getting that huge building for a few hundred a month and a buy out of less then 10% of its value.
Good high paying jobs? I worked there as an admin. On adverage the average admin salery was 28k
The average tech pay was around 22k
They raise their "average" pay per employee by giving raises to the officers
As for number of domains hosted, they do not meet the number listed, just like in the early days they did not have an actual "OC-192", they just had the equivilant over multiple pipes.
You have to watch out for posts like this, at AITsucks.com the press boys at AIT like to come and anonymously say crap like this.
AIT has in the past decided to lock their current month to month customers in a 6 month reacurring contract, wanna know how they let them know? they barried it in a Christmas new letter, then wondered why after the first 6 months so many customers wanted to cancel and blamed it on everything but that. Something of that coincidence on that magnitude just does not happen.
Also as stated Fayetteville does have a vested interest in AIT, but what this poster failes to mention is all the times fayetteville has threatened to take the building away from AIT that they basicly gave them for failing to meet the conditions in which it was given.
AIT sees/. as good press, I am glad to see the customers coming to speak out tho.
SOE has good track record. OMG this has got to be a fan boy. SOE has the worst track record of any MMORPG on the market. You have to be kidding me. I played EQ since the start and SOE sucks at putting out a game, a patch and worst of all CST. If it was not for the original VI team before they were bought out EQ would not be shitty and a real company would have made SWG with less issues.
I wonder is the installation of the program gave an install shield to let you know that it was installing software to your computer, or if there was a lisence agreement with the disk stating this. I am sure this woould be ilegel if it did not.

I guess you would like to be ruled by Queen Elizabeth right now. I mean that "goddamned peice of paper!" is what prevented that.

how about if ATT&T did not transfer the contacts (it is a long shot). Also notice how they did not bring up IBM's agreement.
They stated before the game was releassed that they would close the boards sometime after release to non-SWG people.
