kudos:12 | Re: Another one bites the dust said by dynodb:Yet another Muni bites the dust. Is there a list somewhere of failed municipal broadband initiatives, or would it be too long to fit on one page? Of course the next time a state or local government proposes becoming a broadband provider, most on BBR will think it's a great idea.  And how many telecommunication companies have failed over the years? | |

Canonsburg, PA | Re: Another one bites the dust said by sashwa:Yes, we do or at least did have a choice between Comcast and AP&T. Comcast was here first as far as I know. According to one article the decision to build the system was made 10 years ago because Alameda was unhappy with both TCI and AT&T Broadband. So the Alameda city leaders were right that AT&T didn't know how to run a cable company in 1998 but wrong with their long term prediction of the market. | |

kudos:3 | Give Comcast a try sashwa, your price will likely rise to $42.95, but you should get 12/2 for that (if the plant is up to current standards) | |
