Re: Internet Options
Gingersmom, I was looking at Comcast Internet service today and was surprised at their published download speed of 6 MBPS which is as you say is about the same speed as DSL.
Comcast is using 10 year old technology but is charging the same as other players in the broadband business are charging. For the same price, Comcast is clearly much slower than Verizon's FIOS offering of 20 MBPS and Cablevision's 15 MBPS--all for the same $44.95 a month. It would have beennice if at some point in time, the Villages recognized the evolution in broadband cabling and installed fiber optic cable underground. Without fiber, I fear that we'll be stuck with second rate Internet service forever, well it will seem like forever.
