Bye Bye Dish

Thats basically the same price structure we have with Sparklight (cable one). Fortunately, its a very very stable service however. No issues since Sparklight took over from Newwave, and upgraded the system.

ATT offers fiber gig speeds on the other side of our very small town at a promo of $49 for a year. Their 25Mbps service in my neighborhood is $70.

Our electric CoOp is also in the process of running fiber to their whole area, which will increase competition and hopefully drive the cable price to a competitive point with the other offerings.

AT&T is installing fiber sometime in our area. I hope it drives down the Charter prices and we get better deals.

They laid fiber all up and down the roads around here, which is the only reason they even upgraded our previous DSL to 25 from 6.

In new build neighborhoods and to businesses in town however, they finished those up to the premises. Id say probably close a third of the town, and several places right outside have access to the ATT fiber to the home at this point, although it seems that is the brick wall they have been at for a couple of years.

When Dixie electric gets theirs rolled out, at what should be a much faster pace, it may make them consider finishing the build where they already have the fiber buried. Maybe not.

That is nice that some CoOPs are running the fiber to the country folks. How does that work after fiber is run to the premises combining with the home wiring?

That I am not sure of. They have it run in several trial areas, but I havent gone out to see how it works once it gets to the home.

I remember now how Verizon does it in a relative's home in Florida. It took some kind of exotic box that would allow the fiber to work with coax or Cat wiring in the home.

And I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope you don't have 4 full EHD's with thousands of hours of recorded programming from years back because... POOFFF, you will loose all those recordings.

With the EHD's I have and multiple thousands of hours of programming, that's 1/2 of the justification I use for the monthly cost of remaining with Dish. I have my own streaming service of my own favorite shows and movies from 10 years back!

So I hope you know all your recorded programming will go into the stratosphere!

So bubye
