[QUOTE="Fredkrueger100, post: 2964320, member: 24577"] Just spoke with my cousin who works for ATT and does all the dsl repairs and he said that they plan on by 2020 having fast broadband in almost all areas. With maybe the exceptions being way out in the sticks. He said they are trying to get everyone off of dsl to cut their jobs. With a company as greedy as att I don't doubt it one bit. Now back to Vyve. I got a call this afternoon from them and they told me how much it would cost to run a line to my house. $8,000!!! I about crapped myself. I know dang well it don't cost anywhere near that. They aren't running fiber from the street to my house. They are running an electric cable. Just like I have coming into my current house. What a company. They would rather lose a loyal customer of years because they don't want to put forth a little effort to hook me up. So I have decided to go with dsl. It makes the most sense for our situation. Hopefully it runs good and not like my dad and uncles did. But my son and I are screwed when it comes to gaming and downloading our updates. Guess I'll take our systems down the street to my dad who has Vyve when we need to update. Steaming movies is probably done too. And I have a lot of owned movies we like to watch on vudu. Hopefully in a couple years or so we can get something faster. Guess I'll have to take out my frustration by shooting in my backyard!! [/QUOTE]
