I wish my local phone company (Pinnacle Communications) would offer TV on our fiber system. We have telephone & Internet, but no TV. They are a very small independent phone company and probably are not in too big a hurry to go head-2-head with Cox.
Powell is making baby steps with their Internet Speeds like Pinnacle did. Pinnacle's highest tier was 5/2 for the first year or two, but now are offering excellent speeds - starting at 10/1 and up to 50/5.
BAD CHOICE WITH CALIX - STILL USING ATM TECHNIQUES - SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH OCCAM ACTIVE ETHERNET - PUT FTTH WITH ATM IN AN IP/ETHERNET WORLD - WRONG CHOICE IN MY BOOK.
