Rascal, That you are!
A recent Jupiter Communications Consumer Survey of 2,811 online households asked participants which type of company they would switch to for a reliable, quick connection to the Internet.
Not an MIT study with double blinds for sure. So what?
Fifty-eight percent said they would choose a company other than the one they currently use.
Plenty of potential new customers available. Nice to know.
Of these households, about 25% indicated that they didn't know which type of company they would switch to.
Busy people. Not always up to speed on the latest and the best in all areas. Pretty typical of the 'average' person, no?
"Gee gladys, who do you guys use?"
"@HOME cable. I check our stocks, our kids do research and Bob does the shopping online. We get it all done in about a tenth of the time dial-up use to take. And the new services and apps. they are developing are amazing. I'd never go back."
"Really, maybe we should switch too."
(warning, the above has been altered for gender political correctness)
With cable companies heavily promoting high-speed access alternatives, 25% of the respondents said they would switch to a cable access provider.
Where is Jupiter based and where did they conduct the survey, FL? Did they just poll locally? In an area with heavy cable promotion or not? Again, not MIT caliber but not shabby numbers at all.
Point:
In there survey cable is looking good.
The remaining types of access providers were mentioned by only 12% of the survey participants.
So in this sample DSL, which could be good for all, got no recognition. Also the electric utilities are doing some amazing cable and fiber infrastructure work and I was surprised to see some respondents apparently aware of this.
I thought it would provide an interesting read and maybe spur some dialogue.
Guess I was right.
Bold of me I know but I used shades to read the last of your post.
Not much new info here.
Every once in a while
