It's marketed as broadband, but it's well slower than 1MB/S. The Fraudband I'm on right now is 128KB/s up, 256KB/s down. Looks like the fibre pipe to my front door is at least 10 years away.
Due to Testra's bastardry over not sharing its underground cable-runs, my town, and most outside metroplitan areas, doesn't have cable TV by cable. We can get a microwave link or sattelite, both of which cark it during heavy rain.
The upside is that FOX doesn't have any coverage over 80% of the country.
If I didn't live in a non metro area (commiserations) I would read that article and think - there is a possibility that Telescum may lose its stranglehold here. The other companies may get a look in to the market.
