I chose RoadRunner over DSL because it is faster and cheaper then some of the tiers DSL offers. Also it is the only other Broadband in the area.
15/768 At best I usually get the service I am promised. It could be better.

| Call Buckeye Call Buckeye and pressure them into turning on and expanding that Fiber line that runs through fremont (former resident of Toledo).
They're already expanding their area into York Twp and Green Creek Township (20 West by RTE 19).
They're not really cheaper than TWC but they offer more as far as Internet Speeds and more channels. | |

| Re: Call Buckeye TWC does NOT give a damn regarding that damn agreement with the City. If they're kicked out nobody else is going to run the city's cable network. And the Mayor won't take on a Muni-project like he had the chance back before they came into Fremont.
TWC is set to go to the State and file there for their franchise agreement. Once that happens they won't do a damn thing the city wants or the people. They've already done it with Tiffin and Fostoria and several other cities that are near Fremont.
Nobody wants Fremont though. That's the problem IF TWC ended up walking out of Fremont with nobody to take over Fremont would be in deep shit. Fremont is actually glad that TWC bought Fremont Cablevision otherwise Fremont still would NOT have DSL or anything digital over cable. If you remember DSL was only available the day RoadRunner was being marketed for installs. It was magic that DSL was suddenly available.
Also as a side note about TWC--I'm not sure if you know it or not but MOST of the city has not been rebuilt by TWC. most of the lines that are still on the poles are back from the 80s when Fremont Cable last rebuilt the network. (I used to own the Internet cafe that was on East State Street across from DQ and my old Sales Rep from TWC told me that along with several contractors they used)
I have the email address to the Block Family (the owners of Buckeye Cable) and their phone numbers (cell, home, and office) along with other contacts within Buckeye. They sent all of us letters just before Christmas saying if we had any problems we were to contact them directly. I'm sure Mr. Block would like to hear from you. Especially with recently expanding into York TWP, and PB-burg. All thanks to the State's VSA. | |
