48.8% of statistics are made up on the spot. This was discovered in a study of Technical Support specialists from all over the world. It was a very scientific study using fingers from both hands.
hey the fiber to the neighborhood is being expanded rapidly by BellSouth. Who is pushing into Rural areas and small towns now. The reason it is cheap. it uses pptp to tunnel through the atm, so they can sell 2 to 3 times the capacity they have (everybody isn't online at the same time, why give them a dedicated path). When there is a problem you are funneled to a (award winning) Technical support who do not understand how it works and blames your problem on your halogen lamps or mysterious infrared radiation in your neighborhood. What it really is overselling and under buying. I guess it has to be cheap to get it everywhere.
Earthlink isn't going anywhere, They already offer the 2wire Homeportal which has voice over IP capability (ie phone service). Earthlink has absorbed to many mom and pop operations to disappear (large conglomerate). Hey everybody we have a republican monopoly on the government, what did you expect. If Republicans allow monopolies they get more campaign financing.
