One thing I know for sure is about 10 years ago our city tried to run its own cable company. More or less FTTN type deal don't know why they just didn't do FTTH. But no matter cost the city Millions to build and maintain. Had to sell it at a major loss to Cinci Bell. It about bankrupted the city.
Only good that came from it was it lowered Time Warners rates to match the cities. Since it was sold off to Cincinnati Bell they have been forced to be competitive.
The prices they are charging are roughly what we pay. Internet speeds are a hell off a lot faster with them however. -- Any unauthorized use of your own judgment is strictly prohibited.
Where do you live in Cincinnati? I have never heard anything like that being tried around the Cincinnati area? Also, if they sold a TV infrastructure to CB then why does CB offer DirectTV?
Should also note that Cinci bell always handled the phone side of the service for the city. TW phone service price was much better at the time. Looks like they have pretty much matched it now.
