As any current resident will know, the "Verizon Enhanced Communities" (VEC) wireless Internet access system is extremely poor compared with DSL or Cable ISP's.
VEC offers two packages of speeds supposedly up to 3 MB/s for $50/month, and 1.5 MB/s for $35/month. However some residents have been told by technicians that for various hardware reasons that they would never see 3 MB/s. Even when the 1.5 MB/s option is selected, residents rarely see these speeds, and even if they do it is very erratic and latency is so high (~200 ms) that video on demand, voice over IP (VoIP), streaming music services, and online gaming are all not reliably available. Some residents in older homes can't even reliably access email.
Reliable fast Internet access is a must for many of our residents while they work or study from home. This makes TRUE high speed Internet access not just a convenience, but a significant quality of life issue for us.
Only affected residents sign please!
We, the undersigned, call on the responsible parties within the Army, Pinnacle Housing, AT&T and Comcast, to work together to cut through the bureaucratic red tape and provide residents at The Parks at Monterey Bay housing the choice of DSL and/or cable services.
