Without the town investing, it appears that wouldn't have happened at all. Without charter, it appears it would have cost the town more money (and money on an ongoing basis too).
It's not obvious that this is the worst possible outcome, it's conceivable that it's the best possible outcome.
- zdragnar 6y agoExcept you are stuck with charter. There is no world in which charter is the best possible outcome. With a bit of luck, though, it is better than a 4g lte mvno
- throwawayboise 6y agoCharter is better than nothing. In the real world you hardly ever get "best possible" because everyone has a different view on the defintion of that.
- zdragnar 6y agoI have had charter, Comcast and others. Charter takes the cake for terrible service, technical and personal, in my experience. I was actually very pleasantly surprised by what i was able to do with a mvno over cell connection- OS updates and downloading VMs were really the only major pain points. Of course, I have since gotten fiber, which wins hands down.
- throwawayboise 6y agoWell don't take "better than nothing" at anything more than face value. I wasn't endorsing Charter.
- bsagdiyev 6y agoAnecdotally I just moved from California to North Carolina and Charter (Spectrum now I guess) is actually doing all new builds with fiber, RFoG, out in this area. Seems to be leaps and bounds more reliable. So their reliability might depend on the locale.
