Comment Re:Most normals don't want broadband (Score 1) 689

Well, let's not bash on people just because they don't want broadband at home. I have a T1 connection at work, and 56K dial-up at home. I could afford broadband at home, but I have no interest in paying more than $30 for it. I don't download music, and I have no interest in internet video. The main things I use Internet connection for is e-mail, general web surfing (a couple blogs, hobby-related sites, etc.), and downloading the odd software patch. Yeah, it might take me an hour or two to get a software patch, but it's not worth $30+ more per month just to speed that up. I just don't see the service being worth the cost. If I could get BB for $30/month, I'd be on it, because that what I feel it is worth to me. Different people with different needs come to different conclusions, of course, and that's why I know people that do have BB and feel it worth $50+/month. And for the record, I watch less than 5 hours of TV per week.
