  Just Sad

  I was curious after reading this. I live in the Akron area & my community installed their own gigabit service. So for shits & giggles I checked to see if AT&T had upgraded any of their services in our area. Nope, the fastest available is 75mbps @ $55 with a cap for 1TB. I'm curious how many customers they have left?
  I think I'll stick with the community one, 1000 symmetrical @ $75 & no caps. Also included equipment including a battery backup.

  Did you ever think it's just the arrival of police officers that immediately escalate the issue at hand, especially in cases of mental health.

  Really? You're calling me out because I don't post often on here. I usually just read & don't sign in. Keep trying your conspiracy somewhere else.

  I think they are so gullible that at one of his rallies he could serve out the kool-aid to everyone of them & at the next rally claim that it was "fake news" & serve the kool-aid again to everyone & they would still drink it.

  Not according to their own commercial

  If you watch their commercial they use "No Data Caps" as an advantage over their satellite competition. I hope they ask them about this commercial.

  Not sure if you're still curious. I just got a reply back, are you asking about upstream providers? If so, it is Level3, Zayo, and Cogent

  Have absolutely no clue. I browsed quickly and couldn't find it not sure if they put it out there but I did ask. I'll let you know what I find out. Why do you ask?

  Are you talking about who's building it? It's Fujitsu Network Communications of Texas.
  
  Here's a link to the city gig service.

  Re: AT&T is going to be PISSED

  The city was smart, they did everything underground they didn't have use a single pole. Which will great in the long run, no "trees" or utility guy to accidentally cut the line to knock out the internet.

  Can't Wait for my Novelty

  Where I live Fairlawn, OH. The city is halfway finished with their own municipal Gigabit lines (FairlawnGig), they already have half of the city connected. They say to have everything finished by May but it looks like they are ahead of schedule. It's been really nice & a breath of fresh air they have been providing bi-weekly details on how the construction has been rolling out, maps detailing the what areas are doing what & how far along construction is, details on how "cut the cable" & just general information that most average users wouldn't know. The pricing & connections will be the exact same as Google Fiber except TV service but who the cares just give me gigabit speeds.
  They just started laying out the underground conduit for where section I live. I am really curious how this is all going to work. Where I live we have both TimeWarner & ATT Uverse in the area, I want to see how fast they change their game when the whole city gets connected. I currently have Time Warner (or Spectrum whatever you wanna call it, same shit) & they have been promising since last June to upgrade their highest tier from 60 to 300kb/s but still nothing.

  Re: Re: Am I missing something....

  You would think that the enforcers of the law would know the basics of law. It hasn't ever stopped them but they sure do know how to get a lot of lawsuits started & everyone is guilty, school administration to the police. I'm sure the family has been getting a lot of lawyer phone calls. This is Texas, just from this site we all know how much lawyers love Texas.

  Am I missing something....

  Wasn't it illegal for the cops to be interviewing/interrogating an underage individual without his parents or at least their attorney present. I feel really bad for this kid I hope it doesn't discourage his hobby/talents because of some huge overreactions by the school administrators & law professionals.

  I have never seen the report you are stating but that was not the reason they dropped the speed limits. The reason they dropped from 70 to 55 was to save fuel.
