SBC is lying again, about DSL

Om Malik, Sunday, January 18, 2004 at 9:01 PM PT Comments (2)

I am sure all of you have watched the SBC ad promoting its DSL technology, you know the one which goes something like “… twenty five years ago an idea was planted to transmit photo, and data over the Internet …” blah blah! The ad pans from Chicago street to an underground conduit. Anyway is it me who finds this odd because 25 years ago there was nothing called SBC. Sure there was a monopoly called AT&T. Isn’t it false advertising, much like those crummy Mt. Everest advertisements? What do you guys think?

One more correction:

I did not type the “http://” for the yahoo address. It does not belong in the command line. Do NOT type the (link) in there just the “tracert then the space key and then the website name.”

AFter discontinuing service w/Vonage. Anyone with Vonage now gets the number has been disconnected msg when they try to call me. My number has not been disconnected!! This has caused delays with many of my patients. FCC cannot fix due to Vonage being a Phillipino company. Sucks
