Comments on: FCC To Set Your Building Free: Apartment Building Can No Longer Sign Exclusive Deals with Cable Co’s http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2007/10/12592/ Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:32:51 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Billy Halsey http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2007/10/12592/comment-page-1/#comment-398627 Billy Halsey Mon, 29 Oct 2007 23:31:58 +0000 http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2007/10/12592/#comment-398627 Personally, I'm tired of being forced into AT&T Home Entertainment. What that means for me is DSL or nothin'. I don't have the choice to get cable at <i>all</i> because my apartment community has an exclusive deal with the satellite provider (AT&T). I pay more for 6Mbps DSL than my friends in another community across town with 12MBps cable modem. Why? Because I don't have a choice in providers at this location.

My last apartment had an exclusive contract with Millenium Cable, which was always going down and just generally having shitty service with an increased cost. Now I'm living in an apartment where the ONLY ISP I could get was another exclusive contract with Ygnition (probably the worst ISP in the world). I couldn't even get DSL into my apartment, so I'm stuck with them. So regardless of whether or not it lowers prices, just having the option to dump shitty ISPs will be worth its weight in gold. ‘Took them long enough!
