Buzz Out Loud Lounge: Broadband in Rural America

Broadband in Rural America

You might not understand that rural America will have broadband by wireless thru out in 3 years or so. My ISP is putting in broadband at the rate of over 100 megs of requirements on the Internet each week This showing that broadband will be in rural America. This will not with one of the major carriers of broadband right now. This have no thing about net neutrality involved in their operation. The only thing to care about if tier one carriers have enough bandwidth to handle the demand. They give you the bandwidth that you pay for and you not getting the bandwidth that the website is sending then you would raise the bandwidth you are paying. They don't monitor what is coming thru and have no problem if ATT and Verizon don't cut the bandwidth to my ISP. This is going on and they are now doing in the fourth electric coop and once they are finish with that coop then they will move onto the next one. They have no trouble in handling this about increase in requirement each week and the people get the broadband they pay for. They also give broadband to businesses in the area so they can compete for technology companies to come to their area. They give up to 5 meg circuit in both directions. You may see the statement that you have more then that in the ads by the major ISPs but you have to remember they say up to on speed. This ISP says what you pay for no matter how many are on. In a lot of cases I have found the websites are not really sending at broadband speed which I have one meg circuit and I get that speed and not up to as the other ISP say. If you are not getting it they will make sure and not give any excuse but correct the problem. So the bottom line is rural America will have better broadband then the big cities if ATT and Verizon allow it. There is no meter on how much we consume as we pay for the bandwidth we want. I have to go to one meg as I want to watch Video and they go close to this speed. If you want to get Netflix then you need a 1.5 meg connection which they provide. The ISP uses more bandwidth then most major cities do and the people get what they pay for if ATT and Verizon allow it. They were down three times since I was on Jul 07 and the jitter for VoIP is 1. You can't get any better ISP and the fact they are really never down. You will see this happen and wonder why rural America has better Internet service we do in the big cities.
