Re: So Basically said by Edrick:They spent all that money to expand to a client base the size of a small town? 6,000 Homes? Not really that many. In the area I live in Minneapolis (subs) That's the size of my entire city and I don't live exactly in really an unpopulated area.. so that's a lot.. and like it was said.. that's multiple communities.
To be honest, I'm even surprised someone posted that on BBR... every day people bitch that they want cable and other providers to expand and serve... and Comcast, of all the great evil corporations, stepped up and did just that...
But.. "not really that many" huh?? Tell that to the people who post here that are biting at the bit in order to get plant extended just 600' so they can get HSI... 6,000 new potential subscribers it a lot for that area.
what the heck does it take to make people around here happy??? I thought on this borg ship, all people were of one thought.. I guess I'm wrong.. 
edit:
By the way.. the city of Corcoran, MN is a town of 5,630 people as of the last count... they're pretty way out of the way for the St Paul MN system.. yet comcast has service out there, in the deep rural area of the metro, and most of the service is underground to boot.. in farm land country, where there are many roads that are dirt and not even paved. »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corcoran,_Minnesota | |

Here in the east most of the lines are above ground still even though at least 10 times a year we have trees knock lines down because of snow, ice, wind, or storms. | |

kudos:3 | Not really true... there are PLENTY of over head areas out here.. in the Twin Cities, we have mostly underground service in the newer areas just as with any other metro.. the thing is, the Twin Cities saw an INCREDIBLE amount of growth over the past few decades and sprawled a lot. With that, we do have a lot of underground areas, however, we also have a TON of over head.
The area of Corcoran that I'm talking about is rather old.. rural - and there IS a lot of farm land out here.. it's usually a place you'd find more over head than not. | |
