Afaik the business att uverse plan we have at work being a business plan has no such limitation although it is $45 for 12mbps 1mbps up basic 384 service is only like $19/mo for residents I think.
But really what are you going to do with 384Kbps? no other wired provider in my area even offer plans that slow and I have 2 other providers.
Which typically consists of 19 channels of crap and one good channel people actually want when suddenlink dropped viacom the only channel I missed was comedy central and suddenlink replaced it with fxx which has better movies anyway.
But yeah just amazon prime and netflix here tried hulu for about 20 minutes told them to cancel the trial after i saw they were going to have me pay to watch ads.
Netflix and amazon prime user for 1 year 7 months now.
See microsoft just because you jack the prices up from $250 a year to $700 doesn't mean people can pay it and I enjoy netflix and amazon prime a lot more than being able to test any version of office, windows home, pro, server, teriyaki edition
It still costs less per year for both services than the original technet sub or the new msdn price.
So dear microsoft I hope you are as happy without my money as I am without you!
So they are going to cover New York, Los Angeles and Chicago and leave everyone else with dsl and dialup at the same prices they charge for fiber Got it!
Seriously I can already get fiber through the city whats taking att so long to catch up? And I still have 0 wired options at home other than dialup.
I want to be able to update a windows computer with one click instead of update restart wait update restart wait....no wsus offline does not solve this it leaves about 120 updates to be done also wsus offline has a bad habit of breaking things occasionally to the point its still faster to do update restart wait repeat
Along that subject line I live in the usa can I declare a no fly zone for actual planes? Because if one of those were to fall from the 3000 feet in the sky at 300 mph it could really damage my lawn.
I keep seeing that in my verizon account ive never signed up for it as i am not sure what they get in return and the rewards don't look much like rewards at all
I actually installed McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2015 on a computer for someone last week as per usual it could not detect anything...also would not install until i removed the adware inserting web proxy that was installed on the computer i don't know why they don't offer a offline installer
i think its a awfully expensive placebo...and the computer runs slower now without the ads than it did before with them..thats always a plus
If were going off in this direction again I have to say I am all for paying for more preventative care. Emergency rooms should be for !@#$%^& emergency's not things that could have easily been prevented from needing anything further.
But no we are cheap we don't think we should have to pay for others health care....but you can't refuse to provide emergency care. That would be wrong WTF america?? Emergency care costs a fortune in comparison to preventive care!
The cable company even has to pay for rights to local broadcast tv. Yeah you can get it for free with an antenna but if you have cable you have to pay for it because the cable company is required by law to pay for it.
Cable company's get to pay by the network not by the channel they don't get a la carte pricing so it gets passed on to us.
Suddenlink recently dropped viacom due to a carriage fee disagreement they said that if they were to agree to the terms they wanted our cable bills would double in 2 years...I for one am glad they didn't cave to viacom's demands even though i do miss nick..
I doubt i will ever see a la carte cable service but i do think they are going to screw themselves out of a job trying to keep their old business model going everyone is slowly moving to broadband services that do let them choose what they want to watch and when and without charging an extra 10/mo rental for a dvr.
And i'm looking at you slingtv that is NOT a la carte you're still stuck on this !@#$ package mentality.

Well actually the last time I flew I took Alaska airlines and the cheese and fruit platter and pulled pork dish were both good on the way to alaska.
I did not however like the reuben sandwich they were selling on the way back.
Overall as a first time flyer I was impressed with the food but surprised at the lack of peanuts.
The view was great we even flew through a lightning storm on the way back.
However the wifi sucked a 50Mb ipad app would not finish on a 3 hour flight.
So they are going to cover New York, Los Angeles and Chicago and leave everyone else with dsl and dialup at the same prices they charge for fiber Got it!
Seriously I can already get fiber through the city whats taking att so long to catch up? And I still have 0 wired options at home other than dialup.
Yeah whats up with that does anyone really want to pay $100 to watch 40 different home shopping channels?
Well the trucks they park out back of where I work advertise att's cable service although its not sold here.
The people who work there think they are about to have to start carrying dishes on their trucks.

What? This is not about data caps? nevermind then.
So now do we need to make a artificial fat flavor for health reasons like they do with the diet soda?
Wow! I didn't know one could be had that cheaply nowadays
can i search twitch on the fire tv? no? how about we fix that....and chat that would be nice too but search is more important
I actually installed McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2015 on a computer for someone last week as per usual it could not detect anything...also would not install until i removed the adware inserting web proxy that was installed on the computer i don't know why they don't offer a offline installer

Windows 98 first edition.
Its never had any updates.
Its still used every day.
It has never crashed.
It only runs one application.
Its not online but it is networked to a couple of winxp computers
Wow that would be interesting to see.
I have not seen any videos of paper tape run cnc machines on youtube.

Why we put it in the nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain of course.

Has every one forgotten Lavabit already? It was only two years ago. http://yro.slashdot.org/story/... They found out the hard way. http://it.slashdot.org/story/1...

Because they probably wouldn't agree to 10 or 20 years no company likes permanent agreements.
I know I wouldn't agree to a 10 year agreement with my isp even if they offered to double my bandwidth and charge me half as much.
one year yes maybe even two (and only with SLA) but 10 years no.
They want the option to screw us just as much as we want the option to switch to another provider.
This.
It should be 5 years minimum.
