| Market Expansion What really needs to be done is for cable companies like RCN (overlayers) to go into more areas and offer more choice for Broadband. In our area, we have a choice of two cable providers. While this does not necessarily decrease the price we pay, the service and reliability are first rate because they know you can change any time you like! |

Willingboro, NJ | Unlike you, some people can't get choice. I live in Willingboro, NJ. Exit 5 on the turnpike. The only cable operater here is Comcast, or DSL from Verizon.
I was checking prices from other small local DSL providers and thier were charging close to Comcast prices for the same speed as Verizon (768). While other were alittle cheaper like 128 for about 13 dollars from one company, but the speed was just to slow for me. |

Are any overbuilders actually building, or have they all stopped? RCN in stopped building here (they eventually formally reneged on their agreement) around half a decade ago. |

Rockville, MD | Do you know if anyone else is doing any overbuilding these days?
Just curious, because I haven't heard of any in quite a few years. |
