I just want to know or have some assurance of the actual bandwidth I'm
gonna get, and I think it should be higher than that of coaxial
connections. I don't care how that happens, this was just my best idea
to combat what certain companies (like Comcast, who have been involved
with this transaction) have been doing with their subscriptions (setting
250G/month cap on transfer, and making total upload roughly 128kbps).
I also agree with Andrew, on the TV and phone services--totally not
necessary. I also agree to the "lower bandwidth at lower prices."
Maybe, rather than making a minimum bandwidth requirement, the best way
is to force the ISPs to advertise their minimum bandwidths--just so we
can know what we're actually getting.
