It's been raining here the last 2 days. In June of 2009 it rained 29 of the 30 days. You may not give a shit if service drops out in the rain, but I do.again, i dont give a shit if sat service drops in the rain, its not like that happens all the time eitherAs I said, there is no DSL. DSL must be within a certain distance of the central office and I and many others are well beyond that distance. There is no FIOS service available in my area. Satellite service drops out every time it rains. There is only 1 cable provider for broadband. That's it, or dial up.the Sat option is practical and the limitations are not that bad
if the cable company decided to filter the net, i would choose that option
and i dont mean i would just consider it, i mean i would DO it
also, they do that and it makes the DSL options more viable as well as the FIOS type service
if there is a demand, someone will step up to fill that demand
i have dish net for tv service, because they offer a better package than the local cable does
but if T/W started filtering the internet i would dump them in a heartbeat and go with sat service
until someone else offered either a FIOS type service or a DSL type service
if T/W is stupid enough to risk losing their customers then they will bring about a NEED for unfiltered service, SOMEONE would step up and fill that void
