Title: Module 9 Discussion: ISPs
Course: CGS 1560 Microcomputer Operating Systems > Section: Module 9 - Digital Communication

When is enough, enough? That is an age old question concerning limits or boundaries. In regard to technology in the United States the answer would seemingly be, “Until the next version or level comes out.” In this discussion forum, you will take the following survey and paste your response to each of the questions into the discussion window.

1. What type of Internet service do you have?
2. What speed of service do you have?
3. Are you satisfied with your service and why?
4. When comparing different providers you see similar price points with considerably different speeds. What are your thoughts on the pricing plans?
5. Explain what specific need would prompt you to increase your current bandwidth or why you would never upgrade?
6. Considering performance, cost, and any other factors - how would you rate your ISP on a scale of 1 to 5 and why?
7. In your opinion, is there sufficient ISP competition available to you at your location?

Once everyone has completed their discussion survey, go back and read your classmates postings. Respond to two of them with at least one complete paragraph. In the first response, evaluate the survey as if your company polled your customers and how you would respond to that person. In the second response, evaluate the survey as though your company polled non-customers and why they should move to your service.

Use the information in the rubric as a guide toward successful completion of this module's discussion.
