If the internet was a service that was provided for near free (with GREAT speeds), I'd go for this. I would try to aim for 1 dollar for every 10gb. (I would also want to see to it that this only applies to residential lines) However I already pay $60.00 a month for this crap (ADSL provided to us by our phone company (land line?) ). And that's without a phone line included in the price. Tack in the data-plan i have for my iphone through verizon and it doesn't make me happy. I shell out over $100 a month for internet. Now why pay that much? Well I live in the middle of no-where, where my "phone company" has monopolized my area, not allowing other companies to come in and take customers because of some law things. Funny thing is, there is fiber underground right in-front of my drive way. It's probably dark (not in use, maybe by someone who has millions of bucks..) but its been there for over 10 years. (oh i've checked too lol) ![]() Anyways the way things are looking.. Wireless transmissions are becoming way more popular (4G stuff). Hell even if you get like 1 or 2 bars and you live in the middle of no-where, throw up an antenna, point it the right way, get the right gain, and you have a gold mine. I mean you have to make sure the real-world variables are right and as well as your math lol. Edited by Thane, Wednesday, 23. January 2013, 15:18.

Im going to agree with everything Thane has said. I pay for highspeed internet where I live, and I barely get 1 Mbps on a good day. If they do that, they better make sure I get something worth my money, or I will go without internet, I've done it before, and I can do it now. |
