| You call that competition...The Death Star or Comcrap with Wide Open thrown into the mix...geez.
ATT has their small radius for DSL but they offer it to everyone else at no guaranteed speeds. Comcrap is hit and miss depending on which block you live on. And WOW, along with Comcrap, has signal or lack of, issues. Plus they're heading into the digital turnover blind. WOW will probably be sold again within a year.
What a F*****g choice!

WoW cable internet is basically a joke anyway.

WOW will probably be sold again within a year.
Unlikely, but what difference does it make if one investment firm transfers assets over to another like what happened a year ago. Nothing changed.
What a F*****g choice! It's still a choice. Quit bitching.  |

You've never used the service, how would you even know. I've had them for over 6 years now and they are way better than AT&T or Comcast. |

| If they are mixed in with Comcast its probably most of the business side of Chicago and not where MOST people live.
I know this is for RCN as i saw a network map of RCN, How would you even know anyway? You live 2 states away.

| said by ztmike :I know this is for RCN as i saw a network map of RCN, How would you even know anyway? You live 2 states away. Because I know people who used to live there and a few that do, and have had the service. Both companies are overbuilders. They only service areas where there already is a cable company.
According to RCN they serve Chicago's lakefront, including Lincoln Park, Lake View, Gold Coast, Streeterville, Hyde Park, Rogers Park and more.
WOW has service in the following areas, Arlington Heights, Calumet City, Chicago City - S. Side, Chicago Heights, Crestwood, Des Plaines, Dupage County, Elgin, Glen Ellyn, Glendale Heights, Glenview, Mount Prospect, Naperville, Oak Forest, Palos Park, Prospect Heights, Robbins, Schaumburg, South Holland, Streamwood. |
