As much as I need to go, I wish I could stay. I just learned there is a meeting next Wednesday to discuss Utopia in the State Capital. I understand Comcast and other's will have reps there. I certainly have something that needs saying. So I'm writing letters and contacting as many people as I can to get there if possible and sign up for the Citizen Comment period at the end of the meeting. Speaking of writing, I'm finishing up a few letters to several people including Senator Howard A. Stephenson and Representative Frank, Craig A.
Sen. Howard A. Stephenson is the Senate Chair and Rep. Craig A. Frank is the House Chair.
Here is their contact information.

I heard a rumor that SB 66 may be revived. Bad Idea. Why on earth would we want to push a technology invented in the 1800's is beyond me. Especially when fiber's limits are simply not known and we certainly know the limits of copper wires.
Please tell everyone you know to attend or write. I'll be there in spirit. If someone could take notes and let me know how it turned out I'd really appreciate it.

And just what is HB 66?
oh, and a few links for ya about everyone's guesses on the actual limit Comcast imposes and a blurb about a pay-per-GB thing:
"Comcast Has Tested Pay-Per-GB System"
"Comcast's Download Cap Is 200 GB, But Only In Areas With Subpar Networks"

SB 66 is the legislation which prevented other cities from joining Utopia's Infrastructure.
It's like writing up a bill to prevent car manufacturers to sell their products in cities the buggy whip manufacturers enjoy their monopoly and don't want it threatened.
How about getting their attention?
Hammer Time!
While I don't suggest this, I still have to laugh. A sad, pathetic laugh.

I was laughing for a while after reading this. It's so typical of the company. I've heard this time and again from people dealing with them. Reminds me of the time we returned the Cable modem to Comcast. The line was long and people were in a rush to get rid of them.
Funny thing was they were going to another service and several of them were terminated for violating acceptable use (they downloaded too much too). Go figure.
Thanks for the link. I enjoyed it :D
