What about the rest of their customers -- like those in McKinney? Aren't we worth-while?

Yeah, I wish they would put U-verse in a lot more areas. I think they are trying to get deployed as fast as they can, but like anything it can't go everywhere at once. I am sure the Austin was just to try and take some steam out of the Goofle fiber deployment.

You are not liberal collectivist enough. Get a man purse and some Birkenstocks.

Google search does not touch or produce search result of anything "firearms or ammo" That is censorship in the land of the Free. Bing to the rescue.

I just googled "guns" and got 245 MILLION hits. Your computer must be broken.

Well, wouldn't they (as a private company) be exercising some of that freedom if they did refuse to do some searches that they disagreed with? That would be censorship, but also freedom.
However, a Google search for "firearms or ammo" produced "About 93,200,000 results (0.18 seconds)"
Although, it did attempt to change the search to "firearms and ammo" for me. That produced fewer results, only "About 16,200,000 results (0.14 seconds)"
There must be something in those additional 77,000,000 results that they did not want me to find...

But try to use their shopping function to find deals on guns.
That's where you'll see the difference.
