Jeez, what a can of worms! But I appreciate your input. It's great
to know what is going on, even if it is not the best of news.
That ISP sounds that what my ISP use to be like. Until a bunch of us
locals went to the parent company and the CEO signed up for DSL
as a "secret shopper". After a week of not getting connected, the
CEO cleaned house and service has been wonderful (mostly) since
then.
In many parts of the country, ISP choices for broadband are limited. My
parents in rural North Dakota have only one choice. Their local Phone
Utility.
In suburban Alaska, I have two choices. My phone utility and the
local cable company. Fortunately both are pretty reliable.
thanks
