Re: new subdivision/no high speed internet

Im talking about brand new developments not old developments.
It makes no sense that a brand new 40 house subdivision has no cable lines ran and does not have an RT for dsl if too far as it will be profitable for the companies.
The developer did not work with the cable company to get the lines put in with the other utilities before they started building and selling the houses.

Oh-No - I'm talking about brand new subdivisions as well. I've seen lots of them where the MSO decided it wasn't worth it for them to spend the $$$ needed and get 20-40% penetration over 3-5 years. I've even seen them battle with cities and counties in court over franchise agreements that they weren't fulfilling as a result of these types of decisions. At the end of the day, these are largely un-regulated entities who straddle the line between the private sector and utilities - they have a lot of autonomy and discretion in regards to what they will or won't expend their limited funding to build. Again, the OP can state their case and protest (and I wish them well in that endeavor). I just doubt if they will get much traction if they don't have some relatives or close friends in high ranking political offices.
