| We ARE Behind You know, what I think is crazy...and I see it a lot in my state (Va.) and I'm sure its everywhere in all states.
But I'm sticking to my state on this.
Our cable service to my county comes from the "city" 40 miles away. This line that comes from "the city" runs down this one main road for over 25 miles. Its a straight road for the most part. Plenty of house's on this street. True some might be a bit off the road, but many are not. Yet they have this main line coming down their street, and are told they cant get cable at their dwellings. Side roads off this main street have many house, and small HOA clusters...yet no cable going down them...and these houses are not far off the roads at all.
This has never made sense to me. And I'm sure they have good "excuses" for why its the way it is.
So you add that up at all the locations this happens, and you see why we are so behind others (outside the US).
Just in the few adjacent counties in my area I see this repeatedly time and time again. It would be so many more customers for them.
I just don't get it. I know the length of runs from the drop to the house are an issue. So those are SOL.
But what about all the others that have the darn main line running down the front of their yards and their houses are no more than 40 feet off the road, and the actual poles and lines are even closer to their house (buy several feet) in the right-away, which puts it even closer to these houses.
At this rate...there is no way in hell our govt. could mandate something as what Spain is doing. And forget dsl in these areas. You know they aren't going to build CO's all over the place to cover that aspect.
Cable company's are slow to do anything, period. Even when it is clear as day certain areas should have cable.
Darn, was I just ranting?
Maybe this will get bumped elsewhere on here.
But that's how I see it.
