Re: Grrr...

I was hoping that since we were there test market over the years for several key technologies (Digital phone, SDV, etc) they would want to use us again for DOCSIS 3...but I suppose they had other plans.

Digital Phone and SDV they have to roll out system-wide anyways, because there are so many alternatives for your phone (including mobile and replacing landlines alltogether), and watching television (including 2 major nationwide satellite providers).

Not so with Internet, it needs to be delivered to your house accross a cable (although some areas are experimenting with cheaper WiMax solutions, its not all that much faster then a decent DSL line), and thus the competition is a lot less.

TWC is doing a "surgical rollout", which basically means that you are out of luck of your competition is 3 Mbps / 786 Kbps DSL. (Or worse, 1.5/384)
