Its unacceptable that we have NO choice, other than Cable or Satellite! Where is the competition?!?! I'm going to start a cable company...

Just make sure you get the franchise agreement that the village WON'T let you have because someone else already has it (:censored: cast)

Yah, i vagley remember TCI. I believe it was bought out by AT&T Broadband in either 1999 or 2000 or something, then Comcast bought out AT&T Broadband in 2003...

Comcast and Cox?  What kind of a choice is that?  You might as well choose between a nice ripe apple or dog :censored:

I had dial-up from when we started using computers here in the mid 1990's up until November 2004. Now we have Comcast High-Speed Internet, in both of my houses.
