Actually Ben, at first glance I thought you were going to launch into a "When I was a boy we had to walk two miles to school up hill both ways!" ;^)

It continues to amaze me how short people's memories are. It was not long ago at all that an Internet feed of the speed you get from a cable ISP would cost you thousands of dollars per month. Not that I am in any way defending the AT&T/Comcast monopoly; I just don't understand how anyone can see a 3000% price reduction in the space of five years and wonder why service suffers. Did "cheap, reliable, fast Internet access" get added to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" when I wasn't looking? :-) I'm still stuck on a rather undependable 28 kilobit dialup. Nothing better is available where I live. I would *love* the chance to complain about how bad my Verizon or Comcast Internet service is. And I know I'm not alone on this list in that. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | | not represent the views or policy of any other person or organization. | | All information is provided without warranty of any kind. | _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
