Comcast DIDNT expand their network. They UPGRADED 1-way non-fiber coax plant, the type of cable tv where you call a number to order PPV (state of the art in 1975) to 2-way HFC with VOD and DOCSIS. Its disgusting that in 2010 1-way cable plant still exists in the USA.
quote:
Four of the communities ? South Hero, Grand Isle, North Hero and Brookline ? had not previously had access to Comcast's advanced broadband services prior to the extension of the company's fiber-optic network. With the recent additions, Comcast has extended its fiber-optic network by more than 1,200 miles since arriving in Vermont in 2006.
