I agree completely, and I'd love to see our uplink market get far more competetive. I'd love to be paying 1/3 of what I pay now, for 10x the service (or better). However, in our system the market dictates what is "realistic".
The astounding thing to me is how many of my friends willingly throw bomcast over a hundred bux a month and still put up with throttled service.
A public so willing to be ripped off this way is worse than lambs to the slaughter.
It's the essence of the expression "disposable capital"--and it's why bomcast must laugh all the way to the bank.
What else can we do, to pressure the service providers?
Where's the Cliff Cox of the 21st century? As mentioned earlier in this thread, I think there's a rural (Blachly anyway) isp that's cheaper and faster than bomcast; some kind of NW Lane co-op.
Whatever happened to our Eugene free-wifi mesh? ;)
As if their monopoly tactics weren't bad enough the bomcast ceo looks like a shaved buffalo and routinely gives dubya 100's of thousands.
