There is little or no competition here - in my part of Chicago there is zero; just Comcast.

Of course because we live in the city it'll take eons for IP TV to get here and we have a high-rise across the street that blocks too much of the Southern sky for Direct or Dish.

And no FIOS here - only out East in your neck of the woods.

And that's just around here. You get out into Eastern PA, where Service Electric and RCN are, it gets worse, mostly with broadband overselling in the rural areas.

It's high time to clean up the cable industry. Sadly, with Kevin Martin at the helm of the FCC, that will happen right after pigs file flight plans.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Theyve-worked-hard-for-it-18473515 Fri, 08 Jun 2007 17:26:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Theyve-worked-hard-for-it-18473499 said by jsinaiko:

When we had our (third) outage since the city went all-digital in April the tech who showed up had no idea where the vault for the block was - I had to show him, and I wasn't even the jamoke who called in - and then he didn't have the tools to open up the vault, which is under the sidewalk.
Did you offer him a crowbar or a monkey wrench? Nothing like hacking CATV under the watch of a agent of the company.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Theyve-worked-hard-for-it-18473499 Fri, 08 Jun 2007 17:22:29 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Theyve-worked-hard-for-it-18473486
I have been in a snit over the way Comcrap has acted in Chicago for weeks - at least when I bother to think about it. Makes me more unreasonable than usual.

Sorry.

Notwithstanding their subcontractors murdering women, they are absolutely the worst. How does anyone deal with their Internet service?

Amazing.
