Comment Landline, shandline (Score 1) 435

I only have a landline for my DSL internet. I got a $5 monthly cost for the line and then the cost of the DSL. The prices on the landline to call are pretty steep so I never attached a phone. The only problem is when the phone company or internet company keep trying to call you but get disconnected signals. Hehe, it would have been funny except they owed me money...

Shouldnt it be considered a public service in this day and age? Isn't the government there to make our lives better by investing in projects that are to large and inefficient to do privately for the better good of the society? I do not see why the government cannot take steps where private companies are not willing to because of costs while creating such large disparities. /.?

Not trying to troll but I think it is not just phone's or technology. Americans are less fashion oriented in my experience (I am an american). This does not suprise me. I find the iphone nice but also a bit lacking.

Should I get myself checked? I used to have something with this other OS once and I came away with multiple viruses, I never felt so dirty or betrayed as when she popped up, "You are infected, get checked now!!!" with flashing lights and everything.

Submission + - EuroDocsis 3.0: 120 Mbit cable for the public

Jdogatl writes: Last week UPC in The Netherkands announced that they are going to have a new subscription implementing EuroDOCSIS 3.0. Sources suggest the 60/8 Mbit will be 10 eur cheaper than the fastest connection now, in the end roughly 50 euros with a fair use policy, no limit up or down. This will compete directly with new fiber optic networks being set up around the country. http://www.lightreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=163867&site=cdn
