And the folks who live out in the country like me, are still suffering with very, very slow dial up service, maybe 5kb/second if we are lucky. I talked to the people at AT&T last week about getting internet service through their little plug in thing that received signals from the phone towers, and they informed me that it is available at $60 per month, but that for some reason it is not operating propertly in the Shelbyville area where I live.

Maybe I drop by and talk to them again at the end of the summer. In the meantime, don't send me any pictures a 400dpi.

You city folks are sure lucky.

Finally got the mailing from AT&T concerning their offer for T.V. & "high" speed internet. As I had mentioned before they have fiber within 3/4 mile from our home and the linemen had been working on the poles for months.

The TV package is $54.00 a month for just the basics but the flyer does say you can record up to 4 shows at one time and watch them on any TV in the house. It also says you can program the TV from your wireless phone or your computer. Another bullet point says you can follow 4 channels at once and know when to switch at the optimum time by using "Multiview". (screen in screen?)

Then there are several packages that include various combinations of TV, internet, home phone and cell (I bet the iPhone won't be included in the cell package). The lowest combination is $99.00 a month for 70 channels, but you then pay another $10.00 a month for High Def. service. The download speeds on this package are a stunning 3 mps.

The middle package is $127.00 a month, giving you 300 channels, still paying another $10.00 a month for high def., the download speeds are "stunning" at 6 mps.

The high end package is $147.00 a month, giving you 390 channels, no high def charge and the download speeds are (hold your hat) 12 mps.

Some good features with the TV but I sure was expecting more with the internet speeds.

I think they are starting to hit the HD TV wall in bandwidth.
On a side note the iPhone and insight email don’t play well with each other.
From all reports.

Same here in Southern Indiana, sporadic outages. This is why I have the DSL backup, these companies tend to do this every so often.

Insight has been working on their system a lot lately. Cable TV was down for several hours last week.

My Insight Internet and Phone both crashed today about 11 am (we don't have cable TV). A call to customer service turned up a recording: "We are aware there is an outage in your area..." Service was just restored (12:40 pm). I wonder how widespread the outage was...
