The disgrace that is AT&T
And keep in mind, AT&T -- with its effective monopoly over its service
areas -- only installs fiber in lucrative neighborhoods. Here in L.A.
for example, much of the city has no fiber. Even in areas that have
some fiber, you may find it on one side of the street and not on the
other. AT&T just refuses to install it where they figure they can't
make the big bucks. So the only voice and data services are via
copper, and very little VoIP in those areas, mostly just conventional
landlines. And many areas have no cable, no fiber, and no wireless
service. That's here in Los Angeles! Imagine the rural areas! AT&T
doesn't want to upgrade services, they just want to abandon customers
most in need. AT&T has become one of the worst "telecom" companies on
the planet, ever since divestiture. They're an utter disgrace. -L
