said by ncwred:There's no Google Fiber coming to those communities. Why would TWC spend money where it has a monopoly?
because they have already mentioned that they will upgrade everyone on the austin system not just areas with fiber to the home. plus they would be wasting bandwidth if they didn't offer the upgrades to everyone fed from the Austin system as all of the systems in central TX owned by TWC save for: Columbus, Cuero, Gonzales, Kerrville, Waco, Temple, Killeen and the smaller communities surrounding those areas are interconnected to Austin somehow someway as they all get their video etc. via a fiber ring that is tied to Austin and the rest of the cities such as Round Rock, Luling, etc. the only area that is its own system with the Austin lineup is Fredericksburg and they are getting the upgrades as well.
I could say the same thing about TWC offering the 75Mbps tier in At&t Uverse areas or that because town with less than 1000 people aren't large enough to support cable should have it turned off the argument isn't really that good to not offer it everywhere in the system when you can.
