at&t, TAKE NOTE OF THIS! I''m sick of att's super slow speeds. Its fast, but just not fast enough. A load more than a video stream and the internet connection wont be able to do anything but finish. The video stream is extremely low quality streams too! Their pricing, I dont like. They recently increased the pricing on their plans while eliminating contracts. The sad thing is, now they are selling their products at same price with half the speed. Att really needs to get their act together. They need to adopt this thing to boost their copper line speeds. Their fiber optic is being laid down in my area, but we wont be able to get it for another half a year at least. Seriously, they need this. The only other high speed internet provider in my area is Comcast. The problem is, they are extremely unreliable according to my friends. They keep saying that their connection speed varies widely a lot. Another is that they are EXPENSIVE. Jeez, either get your acts together or get another competitor into the game. They can introduce this service using upgraded copper speeds pretty quick compared to their fiber optics. They have got to hurry up on their roll outs. U-verse is included too! I saw the pricing for the U verse in Texas, and it seems pretty expensive to me. They only offered some minor features that the cable company dont provide and only slightly cheaper price. The best features in IPTV have yet to be here.
Apologies if some of my writing was a bit off topic. It is just my fustration with the two monopolies in my area -- Comcast and ATT. Wish it was like dial up where I have a choice of over 100 companies to choose from.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
